Picture the drive in: a winding lane across 10 manicured acres, the flag lifting in the breeze, and a stately all-brick estate waiting at the end. Built in 2009, this 8-bedroom, 10-bath residence offers 8,777 finished square feet of space that feels both grand and warmly welcoming. Step inside and the scale unfolds. Rich hardwood floors, sweeping arches, and three fireplaces set an elegant tone. Mornings start in the chef's kitchen, where Wolf appliances, a double oven, and an expansive island make every gathering effortless. The butler's bar is ready for evening entertaining. Two laundry rooms add everyday convenience, while main-level bedrooms with private baths give guests, extended family, or those seeking a private suite their own retreat. Below, the finished walkout level brings a home gym and a full bath, with stairs straight from the garage and its own exterior entrance. There is still room to grow. Summer belongs to the backyard. The heated in-ground pool has a slide and a baby pool, framed by stamped concrete patios and an outdoor stone fireplace made for long nights under string lights. Then comes the moment everyone talks about: sunsets over open country that stop you in your tracks. Beyond the pool, the land works as hard as it plays. A 64x48 barn with 14-ft doors has concrete floors, electric, water, and its own full bath. The fenced lean-to is ready for horses or cattle, and there is a goat area and a chicken house with electric. A greenhouse nestled within the garden offers the perfect space for growing fresh produce, flowers, and plants throughout the seasons, adding another thoughtful touch to this exceptional country estate. The 6-car attached tandem garage holds every toy. Every comfort is already handled. There is radiant hot water heat on all floors, three furnaces, and three AC units, two of them new. The pool heater is new, and the home has 400-amp service, a whole-house vacuum, a sprinkler system, and garden spigots. This is luxury estate living with room to breathe, room to roam, and room to make it entirely yours.
