One of the rarest properties known to man-literally one of one!!!!!!! Designed and built with a profound appreciation for the tranquility created by rushing water cascading over the shoals below, this extraordinary waterfront retreat offers a lifestyle few will ever experience. Nestled on 8.55 picturesque acres with several hundred feet of frontage along one of the boldest and most impressive creeks in the tri-state region, the property delivers a level of privacy, serenity, and natural beauty that is increasingly impossible to find. The spacious, flowing floor plan has been thoughtfully redesigned and completely renovated with a "no detail left behind" mindset. The stunning chef's kitchen features custom cabinetry with soft-close doors and drawers, beautifully finished butcher block countertops, and an open-concept design ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. Throughout the home, you will find new wide-plank Life Proof LVP flooring in the common areas, complemented by luxurious new carpet and premium padding in the bedrooms that feels like walking on a cloud. Additional improvements include fresh interior and exterior paint, updated HVAC systems, and countless upgrades that make this home truly move-in ready. Step outside to the enormous waterfront deck where panoramic views of the creek take center stage. Multiple lounging and entertaining areas, complete with relaxing hammock chairs, create the perfect setting for enjoying your morning coffee, curling up with a favorite book, or simply listening to the soothing sounds of the water below. The property also includes a beautifully updated accessory dwelling that could serve as a bunkhouse, art studio, guest retreat, or private home office. A detached climate-controlled workshop/she shed provides exceptional flexibility for hobbies, equipment storage, creative pursuits, or additional workspace. Properties of this caliber rarely come to market. Combining breathtaking waterfront frontage, extensive renovations, unmatched privacy, and an irreplaceable natural setting, this is far more than a home-it's a legacy property that simply cannot be replicated. This property is currently enrolled as a short term with Wonderful reviews and financials representing a wonderful opportunity to create a revenue stream when not enjoying the property yourself!!!
