Nestled deep off a quiet winding road in Bloomfield Hills, where a storybook-like drive crosses gently over a natural-stone bridge spanning a flowing stream, this south-facing estate is being offered for the first time in decades. Offering 2.63 wooded acres of rare privacy just moments from Cranbrook Kingswood Educational Community, Oakland Hills & Bloomfield Country Clubs, & downtown Birmingham, 291 Barden is truly an opportunity not to miss. Set well back from the road and surrounded by mature hardwoods, this architecturally distinctive ranch is designed for seamless, light-filled living with exceptional and intentional feng shui flow throughout. Expansive walls of glass frame tranquil views of the stream that encircles the backyard, creating a setting that feels both grounded and serene. The main level features gracious living and dining spaces anchored by three fireplaces, a private executive library, and 5 generously sized bedrooms. With 5 full and 2 half baths, the layout offers remarkable versatility for everyday living and extended stays alike. The walkout lower level opens directly to nature and provides substantial recreation space ideal for a home theater, fitness studio, golf simulator, game lounge, or future wine cellar. A beautiful oversized fireplace flanks floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook the incredible outdoor space. Outdoors, a custom crafted koi pond enhances the peaceful, resort-like atmosphere, complemented by brick paver terraces and multiple entertaining areas overlooking the rolling landscape. Expansive rear flat green space provides ample room for a future pool, pool house, and/or sport court while preserving privacy and the estate’s natural character. Complete with a 4+ car garage, generous storage, and a sweeping circular drive that creates a grand arrival experience, this Bloomfield Hills estate presents a rare opportunity to move in, refresh, expand, or build new in one of the area’s most distinguished residential settings.
