This listing encompasses a 13.91-acre homestead featuring rolling, timbered landscape. A neighboring 12.94-acre undeveloped tract is also available for sale. The semi-finished basement extends the living space by 1,468 sqft. Nestled in Covington's sought-after equestrian neighborhood, the custom-designed, John M. Flippen estate totals nearly 27 combined acres of varied terrain offering a unique blend of rural charm and expansive natural beauty positioned on the highest point of the land for panoramic views. The home's interior showcases meticulous oak flooring and white pine trim. The residence offers dual front entrances: a practical entry leading to a mudroom with slate floors, bench seating, and an adjoining laundry, and a formal entrance opening to a grand foyer and a great room. This central living space boasts 20-foot ceilings, a two-story picture window and a grand stone fireplace with a custom mantel crafted from local timber. The open-plan kitchen is equipped with slate floors, custom made cabinets, an oversized island, stainless steel appliances, and granite countertops. The Primary Suite features floor-to-ceiling windows, a large walk-in closet with built-in wood shelving, and a luxurious bathroom with a soaking tub, dual sinks, and a multi-head shower. The second floor provides three bedrooms/two en-suite bathrooms. Each bedroom offers distinctive attributes like vaulted ceilings or expansive closets. There is also a partially finished walk-out basement (2019). It includes tile floors and a full bathroom. This area is naturally cooled in the summer and warmed in the winter by a cast-iron Jøtul gas stove. The estate also features two attached garages: a two-car garage at the front and a tractor garage at the back. Recent updates include new dual HVAC systems (2024) and installed cable internet (2022). The adjacent parcel offers tremendous potential for development. This is a unique opportunity to own a substantial estate with significant potential for personalization or expansion in a prime location.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
