Property Description
Escape to a private natural sanctuary with this extraordinary 1.5-story custom home nestled on nearly 80 acres enrolled in the Conservation Stewardship Program. Surrounded on two sides by Palisades State Park, this mostly wooded retreat offers unmatched privacy, exceptional wildlife habitat, and outstanding hunting opportunities, complemented by three established prairie areas that enhance the property's beauty and ecological diversity. Designed to bring the outdoors in, the home welcomes you with a stunning great room featuring a soaring knotty pine cathedral ceiling, a dramatic two-story wall of windows, and an electric wood stove that creates a warm, inviting atmosphere. The open-concept layout flows seamlessly into the dining area and well-appointed galley kitchen, complete with granite countertops, an eat-up island, quiet dishwasher, and exhaust fan. The Florida room provides a front-row seat to breathtaking views of the surrounding timber and wildlife, while covered front and rear patios and a maintenance-free deck offer multiple spaces to relax and enjoy the peaceful setting. The main-floor primary suite features generous closet space with solid wood doors, while the luxurious bathroom showcases a Toto washlet toilet, imported Italian LED mirror, heated tile floors, granite vanity top, and a custom walk-in tile shower. William & Henry Old Growth Northern Hickory flooring from Pennsylvania extends throughout the main level, adding warmth and timeless character. A convenient main-floor laundry room includes a utility sink and pantry storage. A striking open staircase leads to the loft-style second bedroom, offering ample closet space and picturesque views. The finished lower level expands the living area with a spacious family room highlighted by another wall of windows, a third bedroom, office, wet bar with wine refrigerator, and a second full bath with walk-in shower. Car enthusiasts, hobbyists, and entrepreneurs alike will appreciate the impressive 2,700-square-foot heated attached garage. Featuring three overhead doors, a utility sink, and space for up to eight vehicles, this versatile area offers endless possibilities for storage, workspace, or entertaining.
