A world away, yet minutes to everything. This captivating custom home rests on 8.27 mostly wooded acres on a quiet country road, surrounded by preserved farmland and bordering a scenic 60-acre horse farm. A deep Southern-style front porch, with dual lighted fans facing perfect sunsets, sets the tone. This porch is made for porch swings, morning coffee, and long dinners under the stars. Inside, a dramatic two-story foyer is flanked by a spacious living room and dining room with oversized picture windows. Hardwood floors lead past a powder room into an open kitchen featuring a preparation island with bar seating, double convection ovens, gas cooking, warming drawer, and a sunny breakfast nook with a coffee/tea bar. The adjoining family room boasts a wood-burning fireplace framed by long windows overlooking the forest. Sliders open to a grilling deck with postcard views of a red barn and the County fairgrounds, plus a gas fire pit seating area built for cozy evenings and s'mores. A separate wing offers a versatile suite with full tiled bath, sunny laundry, and private entrance. This space is ideal as an in-law/ au pair suite, fitness room, library, or playroom.

Three additional large, light-filled bedrooms and additional full bath complete the level. A 3-car garage opens to a light-filled mudroom.
