Welcome to a place where timeless craftsmanship meets the freedom of country living. Nestled in the heart of 86 breathtaking acres of mature hardwoods, this exceptional custom-built farmhouse is perfectly positioned in a sprawling clearing, creating a private estate unlike any other. Approximately 15 acres are cleared, offering the perfect setting for horses, farming, livestock, gardens, or simply enjoying wide-open spaces, while the remaining hardwood forest provides complete privacy, abundant wildlife, and endless recreation. The property itself is a destination. Private trails wind throughout the hardwoods, inviting horseback riding, hiking, ATV adventures, hunting, and peaceful walks beneath the towering trees. A picturesque stream meanders through the property, adding natural beauty and the soothing sounds of flowing water. With the ability to subdivide and a separate road entrance already in place, this estate offers outstanding long-term investment potential while preserving the privacy of the main residence. Built with a level of craftsmanship rarely found today, the home showcases all-brick construction, solid wood doors, 6-inch exterior walls for superior strength and energy efficiency, and a true raised-seam metal roof with snow guards, ensuring lasting beauty and durability. A welcoming deep wraparound porch invites you to slow down, relax, and enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. Inside, timeless finishes include rich cherry cabinetry, custom built-in bookcases, oak flooring, ceramic tile, beadboard ceilings, elegant wainscoting, and classic glass doorknobs. The thoughtfully designed floor plan features two spacious primary suites—one on the main level and one upstairs—plus two additional bedrooms, three full baths, and a half bath, making it ideal for multi-generational living or hosting family and friends. The chef's kitchen offers cherry cabinetry, an LP gas cooktop with exhaust hood, double wall ovens including a convection oven, trash compactor, central vacuum sweep inlet, and abundant workspace. The adjoining family room is anchored by a cozy LP gas fireplace with blower and remote. Designed for year-round comfort, the home features three heat pump systems, an electronic air filtration and humidification system, an insulated conditioned crawlspace, a homeowner-owned 500-gallon buried propane tank, deep 500-foot well, gravity-fed septic system, Firefly fiber-optic high-speed internet, and a cell phone signal repeater. Outdoor amenities continue with an 18-foot above-ground pool surrounded by composite decking, a 48' x 31' metal barn with 100-amp electrical service ideal for horses, equipment, or a workshop, a workshop-ready garage with generator transfer switch, walk-in attic storage, magnetic driveway alarm, and a private half-mile gated driveway leading to your secluded retreat. Whether your dream is a premier horse farm, working farm, recreational paradise, or legacy family estate, this extraordinary property offers an unmatched combination of luxury construction, exceptional privacy, natural beauty, and future investment potential that is rarely available.
