Seeking to live a more intentional life? Prepared for anything, but close to everything? This tranquil, versatile and distinctive property offers the space to welcome extended family, entertain friends, and shape a life closely connected to the land. More than a home this is a purpose-built compound. There is a main house with 2 separate dwellings, a guest house, a large barn shed, an above ground pool with wraparound deck, and 2-story chicken coup. Set back from the road, on nearly 2 acres, a fresh flowing stream crosses the lower lot. The property provides a natural vantage for safety & security, ground sources for cultivation & sustainability, and comfortable living quarters for multigenerational interaction and compatability. The compound's main house is comprised of two levels: a first-floor residence & second floor residence, with shared spaces that include a long private driveway, extensive parking, a garage, a laundry, a welcoming foyer, and a large, covered porch. The first-floor residence is designed for everyday family affairs and large-scale hospitality. Accessed from the shared central foyer or front formal entry, this dwelling consists of 2 large bedrooms, 2 full baths, and a well-equipped office plus storage area (or sizeable 3rd bedroom) Its focal feature, however, is its remarkable gourmet kitchen. At center is an oversized stainless-steel island surrounded by floor to ceiling blue/grey cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, dual sink stations, and abundant recessed & natural lighting. Accompanied by an expansive dining area, this commanding kitchen can readily accommodate family reunions, buffet style gatherings, & other culinary/prepping pursuits. French doors connect the kitchen to a richly appointed living room w/ hardwood floors & a floor to ceiling stone gas fireplace. The living room is flanked by a primary bedroom suite on one side, and a bright cheery bedroom on the other. The second-floor residence, most suitable for single or coupled occupants, is complete with a large eat-in kitchen, walk-in pantry, living room, bedroom w/ cathedral ceiling, walk in closet, plus full bath w/ seated shower & grab bars. The "getaway" best describes the guest house-a lofted retreat of contemporary design & uniquely crafted finishes. Climate controlled w/ dedicated electric panel & water heater, the guest house includes a complete kitchen, full bath, closet & storage room. This welcoming space is perfect for overnight guests but also serves owners as an invaluable setting for private conversation, creative work or just quiet time. Please take a moment to study the beautiful photos then schedule a showing to experience for yourself.
