Privacy & Seclusion with Million $ Views & Horses in the front yard! Whether you stay here forever & never leave or will be commuting 30 min NW to York or 45 min south on I95 to Baltimore or a 45 min scenic drive to Hunt Valley or need to cross the beautiful Susquehanna via RT 372 or RT 30 to Lancaster this private Estate offers a custom designed authentic Log home with as much to offer outside as it does inside. The home sits in the far back corner of the property & backs to farmland in the agricultural preservation program. 11 acres of woods with 1/4 mile of road frontage separates you from the rest of the world. There are 2 additional building rights should you want to pull off 2 lots to build homes. The entire property is well appointed inside & out - attention to detail and quality construction can be seen throughout. The Open Concept main level incorporates the Living & Dining rooms with the kitchen and the views from all directions that go on for miles and miles. You will be immediately impressed walking thru the front door for the 1st time & every time from there forward with 25+ foot cathedral ceilings, a front wall of floor to ceiling windows to take in that panoramic view and if that wasn’t enough, a massive stone wood burning fireplace spanning from floor to ceiling on all 3 finished levels is situated in the center of the home. This home has been featured on a local major network news channel for having a Christmas Tree in the living room taller than the White House Blue room tree. The current owners are excited to pass this property on so you too can make memories! The Chef’s Kitchen is appointed for cooks of all calibers as well as ample space for preserving your home grown produce. Offering 2 separate ovens, a 6 burner GE Profile series cooktop & built-in microwave, French door refrigerator, granite counters, new hardware & lighting are just a few things that have been upgraded in the last 10 years. All of that PLUS a 2-tier island that is 8’ long by 4’ wide is perfect for entertaining- everyone gets a seat! 3 bedrooms, a full bath, pantry with custom built shelving and laundry room with walk-in closet for storage would be enough living space for most, but…. there is more! As you walk upstairs you land in the Loft Family room with 2nd wood burning fireplace & vaulted ceilings that is both oversized and cozy at the same time. The East wing off of the loft is dedicated to the Owners Suite - a bedroom that makes a king bed look small, a sitting area, a private bath with jacuzzi tub, walk-in tile shower & double bowl vanity with granite counters, modern hardware & lighting is all for you. On the opposite side of the 2nd level is 2 additional rooms being used as a walk-in closet with built ins and a home office (these rooms are in addition to the 5 bedrooms as listed) The finished lower level offers an in-law suite with a large bedroom, living room, full kitchenette, office, private bath with tile walk-in shower, ground level entrance and washer & dryer hookups. Outside you have your pick of where to sit & relax to take in the nature that surrounds you. In the front there are 2 porches to sit back, relax & watch the breathtaking sunsets. Sliding doors from the kitchen & dining room lead out to a 1000+ sq ft stamped concrete patio & pergola with views of the back perennial gardens. Homesteaders will love the options here with the fenced in garden area with raised beds rich in organic compost, a flag stone walkway & patio, in ground fire pit & another impressive pergola with hanging swings to just sit and relax with friends & family. Several outbuildings include a 1 ½ car detached garage, garden shed & barn. The detached garage is the perfect example to the detail & care that has been taken with this property.
