Looking for your Coastal Dream Home? Here it is. This custom built home is modeled after the Coastal Living Cottage of the Year-2002. The crushed clam shell circular driveway leads you to this beautifully landscaped home nestled into private acreage. You are greeted by two welcoming front porches detailed with tongue in groove mahagony flooring, metal roofing with exposed beams and fixed shutters with Sea Horse shutter dogs. As you enter into the home, you are instantly in the heart of it all. The main social space is wrapped with transomed windows, natural light fills this home. Notice the fine woodwork-oversized window, door and base trim, coffered ceiling, built in shelving and custom mantel surrounding the gas fireplace. Wide plank, tongue in groove pine is the flooring of choice throughout. The open floor plan features a gourmet kitchen with granite counters and island tops, maple cabinetry and stainless appliances: gas cooktop with down draft, double wall ovens, convection microwave, armoire style refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher and deep sink with pull down faucet and garbage disposal. Here the cook overlooks the great room, garden and screened porch. Off of the kitchen is a tiled floor utility room with Butler Pantry, built in window seat/storage, stacked front loading washer/dryer, coat closet and water system. Off of the great room is the powder room. Beyond is the vestibule with built in window seat/storage. The Owner Suite has the feel of a private getaway. It features a high ceiling, sitting porch and two walk-in California Closet.

Let's head outside: pavers wind from the front door, past the owners suite porch, along the side yard and into the brick lattice courtyard with two water features-an above ground pond with fountain and an outdoor shower! A large screened porch with wood burning fireplace is the breezeway to the oversized garage with in-law suite/home office.

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
Housing-Single unit
Golf related
Recreation-Other
Veterinary clinic
Agriculture
Park & open space
