About This Home

As of August 2023

Welcome to a truly unparalleled living experience at this exceptional country estate on 10 1/2 acres. With 4 bedrooms, 4 1/2 baths, and 4,780 square feet of living space, this home has been extensively upgraded and remodeled since 2016. As you enter, you'll be greeted by a beautiful marble entryway and winding staircase. The main floor features a transformed primary bedroom suite with remodeled bath, and custom built walk-in closet; a fully remodeled custom kitchen showcasing quartz countertops, high-end appliances, gorgeous hardwood floors, eating area and adjacent to sitting room. Upstairs you'll find 3 more bedrooms and 2 full baths. Lower level provides a workout room, family room, full bath, additional laundry, & ample storage. With 2.5 stall attached garage, and 5 outbuildings to suit your needs, there's generous car storage and workshop possibilities. From the picturesque 30'x48' insulated barn, with heat and water, to the matching pole barn, there's plenty of room for all your toys and collections. 2 more outbuildings provide additional storage and for those seeking a quiet retreat, the adorable she-shed offers a cozy escape. The refreshing 20'x40' saltwater pool will entertain your family and guests. The large circle drive and oversized parking areas provide ample space for vehicles and has been utilized as a pickleball court. Security and privacy are paramount with the commercial-grade automatic gate at driveway entry. What sets this home apart is its incredible setting, abundant wildlife, and endless entertainment possibilities. The one-mile dedicated walking/running trail that encircles the property allows you to immerse yourself in nature. Additionally, there's a dirt bike and quad trail, rope swings, wooded food plots, and two large viewing or hunting towers. Two fire pits, and a back hill that can be used as a waterslide further enhance the outdoor fun. You'll enjoy the added bonus of a meadow frequented by local wildlife such as deer, turkeys, and sandhill cranes. Secluded with forests to the north, west, and south, you can enjoy wide-open views of the meadow and yard from both the house and the pool. Despite its secluded ambiance, this remarkable estate offers easy access to nearby amenities. Caledonia is just 8 minutes away; 20 minutes to Ada and 30 minutes to downtown GR. Embrace the opportunity to own this extraordinary property that combines luxurious living, natural beauty, and a truly serene lifestyle.
