Description

As you travel down the winding, tree-lined drive, surrounded by a kaleidoscope of color and glimpses of native wildlife, a sense of calm anticipation begins to build. The landscape opens to reveal an extraordinary custom estate gracefully nestled within its private five-acre setting. Designed by renowned architect Rick Feeney, the home emerges like a hidden retreat — its blend of brick and wood, copper accents, and sweeping double wraparound porches evoking the elegance of a Southern plantation and the warmth of a refined lodge. From the very first approach, the property feels both grand and welcoming, offering a rare sanctuary where architectural beauty and serene natural surroundings exist in perfect harmony.

Supplements: Expansive double wraparound porches, accessible from nearly every living space, invite everything from quiet morning coffee to lively gatherings. A grand two-story foyer opens to a breathtaking Great Room anchored by exposed wood beams, a dramatic floor-to-ceiling fireplace, elegant wet bar, and drop-down mechanized shades. A full-house surround sound system with individual indoor and outdoor controls enhances the ambiance, while walls of windows frame serene wooded views and connect effortlessly to the three-season sun porch and newly completed stamped concrete patio. The main level kitchen is designed for both everyday living and elevated entertaining, featuring new appliances including an induction cooktop and dual sous-vide and air fryer-capable oven, complemented by granite and quartz countertops and custom solid wood cabinetry. A Butler's Pantry and dedicated catering room with additional refrigeration, generous prep space, abundant storage, and optional laundry hookups add exceptional versatility. An elegant dining or billiard room with fireplace provides a refined entertaining space, while an open-concept den or office with its own fireplace and handcrafted wood built-ins offers a warm and functional retreat. The first-floor primary suite with new flooring, walk-in closet, ensuite bath, and direct access to the sunroom creates a private sanctuary. Upstairs, a luxurious 2nd Primary Suite with fireplace offers remarkable flexibility, including a private bonus room ideal for a nursery or office with sweeping property views. The spa-inspired bath features dual vanities, a jacuzzi tub, separate shower, multiple closet options, and a skylit walk-in dressing area. Two additional bedrooms  one with fireplace and one with an ensuite bath  along with a well-appointed second-floor laundry room complete this level. The third floor is thoughtfully designed for family enjoyment, featuring a newly added play and media room with expansive space for recreation and relaxation. A charming bedroom suite with office nook, custom built-in daybed, ensuite bath, and generous walk-in closet provides a peaceful retreat with elevated nature views. The walkout lower level is an entertainer's dream, offering a spacious family room, full kitchen with bar seating and dining area, wired surround-sound theater, game or office room with custom built-ins, a safe or meditation room, a fully equipped home gym, and a full bath, with private access through the garage. Outside, the serene five-acre setting invites privacy and connection with nature. The stamped concrete patio and nearby hot tub create the perfect backdrop for outdoor entertaining or quiet evenings under the stars. A separate one-bedroom apartment or nanny suite above the expansive three-car garage includes a full kitchen, bath, and laundry, while an additional two-car garage brings the total to seven bays, ideal for vehicles, storage, or workshop space. Recently refreshed with neutral interior paint, five new HVAC units, updated flooring, and a brand-new roof, this exceptional residence offers a rare blend of architectural distinction, modern comfort and updates, and resort-style living. A property of this caliber is truly unparalleled and must be experienced in person to be fully appreciated.
