Built in 2013 with solid 2x6 construction and a freshly painted exterior, this residence embodies luxury, warmth, and self-sufficient living all in one. The property features lush open pastures ideal for horses, over 700 feet of peaceful creek frontage along the western boundary, and a spacious back pasture perfect for gardening, recreation, or expansion. A charming chicken coop and high-speed fiber optic internet allow you to enjoy the best of both worlds—rural tranquility with contemporary convenience. Step inside to a soaring two-story great room bathed in natural light through expansive windows framing panoramic countryside views, anchored by a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and rich hand-scraped acacia wood floors that flow throughout the main living area. The gourmet kitchen was designed for both beauty and function, offering Turkish travertine flooring, live-edge granite countertops and island, cherry cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and an adjoining dining space with access to the deck for outdoor entertaining. The main-level primary suite is a private retreat featuring pine ceilings, radiant acacia wood flooring, and a spa-inspired bath with a walk-in travertine shower with stone flooring, dual vanities, a private water closet, and a large sunlit walk-in closet. Also on the main level is a guest half bath, a well-designed laundry room with built-ins and utility sink, and an attached two-car garage with in-floor radiant heat. Upstairs, a loft overlooking the great room provides a cozy space for reading or working from home and connects to two spacious guest suites—each with its own full bath for total privacy and comfort. The radiant-heated walk-out lower level offers a heated floor throughout and multiple flexible rooms perfect for a family room, gym, media area, or hobby space, plus a full bath with a wood ceiling and subway-tiled shower/tub combo. Mechanical highlights include a 200-amp electrical panel, owned water softener, well control system, furnace, and Hydra Smart in-floor heating system serving both the garage and lower level, with the A/C coil and condenser replaced in 2024 for peace of mind. Every element of this property has been thoughtfully curated for style, comfort, and long-term durability, from its elegant finishes to its energy-efficient design. Outside, enjoy the serenity of the land—pastures bordered by mature trees, the soft sound of the creek, and endless open skies that deliver stunning sunsets and peaceful mornings. Watch deer and wild turkey wander by as you sip coffee on the deck, or take advantage of the open acreage for horseback riding, gardening, or stargazing under clear rural skies.
