Country living in the city. This private, secluded, grand retreat on almost 4 acres in desirable Highland Lakes is an extremely rare find. A gravel drive with a canopy of trees leads you to a hidden peaceful oasis overlooking the water and woods. A majestic live oak anchors the front and a circular driveway allows for plenty of parking. There is a 31 x 26 barn/workshop that is perfect for your horses and livestock or for all of your toys and tools. The main house has 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths plus an office/flex space and is connected to a full guest house with its own living, kitchen and laundry hookups. 200-year-old cypress acquired from cabins in St. Francisville line the walls in the oversized den and sunroom. Real brick and slate flooring is found throughout much of the downstairs. A unique copper topped bar area is located between the dining room and den. Brand-new Anderson windows along the rear of the house allows for year round picturesque views. Kitchen features slab granite, stone backsplash, double ovens and a large pantry. Master suite features two separate master bath areas - one with a tiled walk-in shower and one with a soaking tub and two separate walk-in closets. Upstairs you will find 3 additional bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. Great fishing lake in back yard. Endless opportunities abound including subdividing the cleared acre of land and building a 2nd home on the property.
