Built from the ground up as a forever home, this nearly 12-acre custom estate is truly one of a kind. The sellers began with a completely original floor plan, investing in architectural design to create a home centered around the way they wanted to live--with the kitchen, gathering spaces and outdoor living positioned to capture sweeping pasture views. An unexpected out-of-state relocation now creates a rare opportunity to enjoy the dream they so thoughtfully created. Inside, warm, refined luxury includes a soaring great room, stone fireplace, wide-plank flooring, abundant natural light and a showpiece kitchen with oversized island, quartz surfaces, custom cabinetry, statement range hood and a pass-through window to the expansive covered outdoor retreat and a large walk in pantry that doubles as a Tornado Shelter. The primary suite offers a spa-like bath, generous walk-in closet and peaceful views. Equestrian and hobby-farm buyers will appreciate approximately 10 acres of newer pasture with split-rail fencing and a newer 3-stall barn--ideal for horses and small-scale farm life. An oversized garage adds exceptional functionality, while approximately 800 sq ft of bonus space above is already heated and cooled, with plumbing roughed in for a full bath, offering excellent potential for a guest suite, office, gym, studio or recreation space. Beyond the pastures, woods open to a flowing creek, natural timber steps and a private camping/fire gathering area tucked beneath the trees. Set among other substantial custom homes and acreage estates, this property would be exceptionally difficult to recreate today. With appreciated land, more than $113,000 in seller-paid improvements beyond the original build contract, and rising construction costs, the estimated cost to reproduce a comparable estate today exceeds $1.3 million. Privacy, craftsmanship, equestrian amenities and unforgettable outdoor living come together in a home that was never intended to be sold.
