Home is active recall- under contract with home sale contingency. Set on 17 private acres in Groton, NY, this custom contemporary home offers a rare combination of privacy, craftsmanship, and connection to nature. Built in 2006 and thoughtfully designed to embrace its surroundings, the property is immersed in woodland views, abundant wildlife, and serene outdoor spaces. The mostly flat, wooded acreage features marked and cleared trails, a campsite, a pond, and endless opportunities to explore and unwind in nature. Designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living, the home offers a wraparound deck, screened-in porch, and covered porch, allowing you to enjoy the peaceful setting in every season. At the heart of the home, the living room and loft are housed within a dramatic contemporary turret, filling the space with natural light and creating a sense of openness and flow. Soaring cathedral ceilings and warm natural woodwork anchor the main living area, highlighted by a striking double-sided stone fireplace. Bamboo flooring and repurposed plank floors add character and sustainability throughout the home. The home offers five bedrooms (septic approved for four) and three full bathrooms. The main level includes a bedroom and full bath ideal for use as a first-floor primary, along with a functional mudroom and laundry room that leads directly to a fenced-in yard—perfect for pets, play, or everyday convenience. Upstairs, the primary suite features a walk-in tiled shower and jetted tub hookup, while two additional guest bedrooms share a full guest bath. The loft provides flexible space for an office, studio, or additional living area overlooking the light-filled living room below. A two-story garage/barn adds exceptional storage, workshop potential, or creative use. Private, peaceful, and truly one of a kind, this property offers a lifestyle that feels both refined and deeply connected to the land. Open House 2/7 12-2pm, 2/8 2-4pm.
