Description

OPEN HOUSE SUNDAY 7.13 CANCELLED-Timeless luxury meets land with limitless potential-and you don't have to choose. This newly completed residence is a breathtaking homage to the enduring charm of French architecture. From its dignified faade to its artisan-crafted interiors, every element has been carefully selected to evoke the refinement and rustic grace characteristic of French country design. Nature, privacy, and possibility define the high and dry 8.8-acre setting-whether envisioned as a future boutique farm for your equine companions or private family compound-there is ample opportunity to expand, create, and bring your bespoke vision to reality. With no HOA or CDD fees, this property offers the freedom to customize and build as you envisionwithout restrictive rules or added costs. Completed 2024, the 3,600 square foot residence invites you past the foyer into the expansive open floor plan, where natural light from the numerous paned windows spills into each space. Soaring ceilings ranging in height from 10-13 feet are adorned with wooden beams-a nod to the centuries-old farmhouses of the French countryside. The color palette is soft and sophisticated, warm neutrals, clean whites, and shiny golds complement the texture of the stone and wood accents. More than a workspace, the kitchen is a statement of style and craftsmanship. Sleek appliances, the custom Ilve Italian range, hand-crafted hood, and quartz surfaces combine, allowing utility to meet artistry. As visually striking as it is practical, the hidden butler pantry with custom built-ins, sink, dishwasher and microwave allow you to keep the dinner party preparation sight unseen. The heart of the home is the inviting living space and fireplace-perfectly positioned between custom built-ins. The primary suite and en-suite offer sweeping nature views. Complete with stone accents, beamed ceilings, paned windows, luxurious light fixtures, free-standing tub, his-and-hers vanities, walk-in shower, and custom closet systems-every detail has been considered. With 4 total ample sized bedrooms, the attention to detail continues throughout, with all bedrooms accompanied by custom closets with views of the private pond from nearly every room. Throughout the home-bespoke details include custom hand-crafted brass doorknobs, rich coloring, wood paneling, and refined tile detailing, including a whole home and patio hydronic heated floor system! Outside features 850 square feet of covered patio living-with outdoor kitchen potential and cozy propane fire pit. With abundant space for the oasis to be extended your way-there is something to be said for the opportunity to customize the acreage to your vision. Grass seed has been planted across the acreage, with intentional landscaping surrounding the home. With a high natural barrier, 10-foot Napier grass has been planted along the perimeter for added privacy.
