About This Home

One-of-a-Kind, magnificent rancher with 5400 finished Sq Ft with Room to expand on 3 acres!
A blend of elegance and rustic charm, this spacious home of grace and grandeur welcome both fine living and the soulful simplicity of farm life—ideal for chickens, goats, and horses alike. Welcome to this extraordinary 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath estate with the opportunity to complete an additional two bedrooms, full bath, and a loft on the attic level —featuring impressive 12-foot ceilings! The main level alone spans 2,900 square feet, thoughtfully designed for both grand-scale entertaining and comfortable everyday living.
Step inside to soaring ceilings and oversized windows that fill the home with natural light. The layout flows effortlessly from the formal dining room and great room to a chef’s kitchen outfitted with brand-new appliances, quartz countertops, cherry cabinetry, and a generous island perfect for gatherings.

The spacious family room, complete with beamed ceilings and a brick fireplace, offers a cozy yet refined ambiance. Retreat to the luxurious primary suite with a private sitting room, spa-inspired ensuite bath, walk-in closet, and sweeping views of the surrounding horse pastures. Two additional large bedrooms, a Jack-and-Jill bath, and a convenient powder room complete the main level.

The fully finished lower level—offering 2,560 finished square feet—features numerous full-size windows and three sets of French doors, creating a bright, open feel that rivals main-level living. Designed with entertaining in mind, this space includes another family room, dining area, game room and large bar area prepped for a full kitchen—ideal for hosting guests or creating a complete in-law suite. You'll also find a second owner's bedroom with walk-in closet, a full bath, additional bedroom, and a utility room.

Outdoors, a private pool, expansive deck, concrete patio, and a 31 x 22-foot barn significantly elevate the outdoor living experience. The property offers a taste of the countryside while remaining conveniently close to shopping, restaurants, and major routes—truly the best of both worlds. This exceptional property offers luxury, flexibility, and plenty of space (7,000 + sq ft) to grow— A rare find!
