Description
Supplements: To complement its exterior beauty, the interior features high-end design and style. The foyer is flanked by a formal dining room and a home office/library with custom built-ins and 10 ft ceilings. The spacious gourmet kitchen and den showcase a wall of windows providing scenic views of the property and it's private lake. The European style kitchen includes high end appliances such as a six burner Blue Star RNB36 stove with oven/convection and a GE Cafe dishwasher and refrigerator. Granite countertops, custom cabinetry, an artistic backsplash, open shelving, and a sizable pantry complete the look and feel of this culinary haven. The den has a cozy wood burning fireplace with stone facade and hearth as well as a shaker style wood mantle. Outside of the main living areas one wing of the property boasts three spacious bedrooms (one of which features an en suite bath) and a laundry room. The other wing offers a formal living room with vaulted ceilings, a gas fireplace, and the primary suite. The sizable primary suite is a showstopper, featuring a three sided fireplace, two walk in closets, and a discrete entrance into a storm cellar and a spa like bathroom. The primary bath offers separate vanities, a large soaker tub, sauna, heated towel rack and large walk in shower (crafted of imported Italian porcelain) with multiple shower heads. The guest/craft house is inviting, with a cozy front porch to welcome you in. Currently used as a craft house, and home to a natural products production area, this space has a sleeping loft and full bath that would allow for an easy conversion into a separate living area, commercial kitchen, workshop, etc. The attached greenhouse, 400 AMP electrical service, underground utilities, geothermal heating/air, and desirable water pressure add function and convenience. Three fenced pastures contain ideal grazing grasses, auto-waterers, as well as border and cross fencing. Conveniently located near the main house and pastures, the 5 stall barn features a tack/feed room, hay racks, and fans in each stall. There is another large horse barn in the back acreage of the property that has plenty of room for an arena and training area. Nearby, a fancy chicken coop keeps your hens happy and producing. Other exterior features include, approximately 5 miles of riding/hiking trails, an equipment and storage barn and a stunning 16+ acre lake! Fifty-five feet at its deepest point, the private lake is brimming with bass, bluegill, catfish, sunfish and more. The covered dock, constructed of stainless steel and trex decking, makes it virtually maintenance free, while the boat slip with solar powered lighting is the perfect spot to enjoy the sights and sounds of the lake at any time of day. The wildlife on this property, located just a mile from the Trophy Whitetail Trail, include deer, fox, coyote, bobcats, rabbits, squirrels, quail, pheasant, doves, hawks, owls, eagles, and many additional bird varieties. This could be a true paradise for hunters, organic farmers, family recreation, vineyard operation, corporate retreat, or primary residence. The minimal 20 minute drive to private airport or hospital adds to the property's appeal. This is one you must see!
