If you've been dreaming of owning acreage on the Elk River, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy more than three beautifully maintained acres with river frontage, a scenic pond, exceptional privacy, and a truly one-of-a-kind setting. Tucked away on a private road, this custom-built home is surrounded by mature trees, lush perennial gardens, beautiful landscaping, and peaceful water views that make every season something to enjoy. Designed to take full advantage of the surrounding landscape, you'll find countless places to relax and entertain, including an expansive wraparound no-maintenance Trex deck with Westbury railing, inviting front porch, screened porch, and walkout patio. Whether you're enjoying your morning coffee, hosting family and friends, or taking an evening walk down to the river, this property offers a lifestyle that's difficult to replicate. Inside, timeless craftsmanship and thoughtfully designed living spaces create a home that's both impressive and comfortable. Birch hardwood floors with a rich cherry stain, cherry trim, custom ceiling details, accent lighting, central vacuum, and surround sound reflect the quality found throughout. The stunning two-story living room welcomes you with soaring 18'+ ceilings, abundant natural light, and a gas fireplace, while the vaulted sunroom features tongue-and-groove walls and ceiling, a cozy gas stove, and panoramic views of the property. The spacious kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining with abundant cabinetry, stainless steel appliances including double ovens, a breakfast bar, and an adjoining dining area. The flexible main level offers convenient one-level living with a private primary suite, office or optional bedroom, and laundry room. Upstairs, a second primary suite provides an ideal retreat for guests or multigenerational living, while the additional bedrooms and bathrooms offer comfortable space for family and visitors. The walkout lower level extends the home's entertaining space with a spacious family room anchored by a brick wood-burning fireplace, an oversized game room, fifth bedroom, bathroom, screened porch, dedicated hot tub room with a gas stove, and a one-of-a-kind sauna highlighted by an antique walk-in refrigerator door. Car enthusiasts and hobbyists will appreciate the insulated and heated four-car garage with epoxy floors, attic storage with R-66 foam and blown insulation (2018), floor drain, utility sink, hot and cold water, dedicated storage room with shelving, and convenient double-door exterior access. Additional features include in-floor heat in the main-level primary bathroom and throughout the lower level, plus recent updates including LP siding and soffit (2018), roof replacement (2019), updated air conditioning, and two furnaces and two water heaters for years of comfort and efficiency. Properties offering this combination of river frontage, acreage, privacy, and custom craftsmanship rarely become available. This is more than a home, it's a place to entertain, unwind, explore, and enjoy the beauty of the Elk River from your own backyard.
