An Offering of Extraordinary Rarity! Meticulously maintained and masterfully designed, this sprawling all-brick ranch delivers rustic elegance and timeless luxury on 3.5 acres of private, wooded serenity where a winding creek, abundant wildlife, and enduring craftsmanship create a setting rarely found and seldom available. Natural light pours through oversized picture windows, illuminating a dramatic, wide-open staircase that anchors the home and frames the surrounding landscape like living artwork. The aesthetic is warm, refined, and unmistakably lodge-inspired, blending high-end rustic character with classic, enduring appeal. Three-zone climate control ensures comfort and efficiency throughout. Designed for elevated everyday living and unforgettable entertaining, the residence offers five bedrooms plus a private office, including two primary en-suites, with one on main floor and one in basement. A private 3 car garage and laundry entrance provides an ideal layout for in-law living, a teenager's retreat, or seamless multi-generational living-privacy and practicality in perfect balance. The walk-out lower level is a destination of its own, featuring an arcade-style recreation room with a hand-painted mural, custom built-ins, wet bar, and temperature-controlled wine cellar. Hard-wired surround sound enhances the theater experience, while a six-person sauna room opens directly to a brick paver patio with waterfall. A life-sized, real-tree treehouse adds a whimsical and unforgettable touch. The chef's kitchen pairs beauty with function, offering granite countertops, premium finishes, and an expansive walk-in pantry. A thoughtfully designed first-floor laundry room includes a sink, broom closet, and separate exterior entrance for everyday convenience. Outdoor living is equally impressive with IPE decking, professional landscape lighting, and an extra-wide, extra-long circular driveway ideal for entertaining, all while embracing the peaceful, wooded surroundings. Car enthusiasts and business owners will appreciate the 3-car attached heated garage with epoxy floors, along with a separate 2-car garage perfect for a workshop, home-based business, or prized collection. With five bathrooms, and an office with extensive updates completed in 2018, and exceptional flexibility throughout, this estate seamlessly blends rustic charm, refined luxury, privacy, and versatility. More than a home this is a legacy property. Rare. Remarkable. An offering of extraordinary rarity.
