Set on a generous 0.85+/- acre parcel, this new construction home blends modern open-concept design with the serenity of a sprawling private lot. The heart of the home features a vast living area that flows into a gourmet kitchen anchored by a large center island, while dual sliding doors lead to an expansive rear deck built for outdoor entertaining. The private owner's wing offers a dual-sink ensuite and an impressive walk-in closet, while two additional guest bedrooms occupy a separate wing for optimal privacy. This functional layout includes a dedicated mudroom and laundry zone directly off the oversized two-car garage. Providing significant room for future growth, the home includes a full unfinished second floor, offering a blank canvas to add custom bedrooms, a home office, or a media room. High-quality craftsmanship and thoughtful architectural details define this exceptional country retreat. Breaking ground estimated week of May 11th and estimated completion date of August 2026.

AR-1
Agricultural Residential District
The purpose of these districts is to provide for a full range of agricultural activities and to protect agricultural lands, as one of the county's most valuable natural resources, from the depreciating effect of objectional, hazardous and unsightly uses. They should also protect established agricultural operations and activities. These districts are also intended for protection of watersheds, water resources, forest areas and scenic values and, at the same time, to provide for low-density single-family residential development, together with such churches, recreational facilities and accessory uses as may be necessary or are normally compatible with residential surroundings. The AR regulations seek to prevent untimely scattering of more-dense urban uses, which should be confined to areas planned for efficient extension of public services.
Permitted uses
Include but are not limited to:
Greenhouse / nursery
Religious facility
