As you pull into the gated drive flanked by mature evergreens, you begin your journey into this exclusive experience. This artisan-crafted, one-of-a-kind property is perfectly set in a natural forest of sanctuary and offers a distinct sense of privacy and comfort.

Upon entering the main house you are greeted by gorgeous heart pine hardwood floors that carry throughout the 7,272 sq ft home. The great room boasts a bluestone topped wet bar, 20-foot vaulted ceilings, a stylish half bath, and a wall of windows designed to take in the magnificent views and picturesque sunsets. Through the French doors onto the wraparound Ipe wood deck, you will find breathtaking panoramic views of nature that are perfect for unwinding and have been carefully positioned to catch golden hour light across the large pond and hills beyond. The massive bluestone fireplace is the other standout focal point of the room, a welcoming invitation to lounge and gather around.
The kitchen and dining area perched just off the great room are a perfect place for get togethers and holiday meals. The large chef's kitchen features Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, a large kitchen island, and a breakfast bar. The first floor primary bedroom--with a walk-in closet and its own deck access--also features a beautiful en suite bathroom with a large soaking tub, double vanity, and stand alone shower. A full laundry room rounds out the first floor of this spectacular home.
The upper level has a spacious lofted living area that lends itself to morning yoga or reading your favorite novel. An en suite junior primary bedroom, 2 additional bedrooms, and a full bath completes the upper level, providing plenty of room to spread out.
After a long day of enjoying this natural paradise, you can retire to the lower level of home where relaxation and entertaining is the focus. There are dedicated spaces to play billiards on the custom-built pool table, catch the game on TV, or gather in the theater room to screen a film. Marantz Audio surround sound and a full bathroom round out the space.
