This exceptional property blends brand-new 2025 construction with authentic country living, offering outstanding versatility for a private homestead, multi-generational living, income-producing guest quarters, or an equestrian retreat. The main residence, completed in 2025, offers approximately 3,200 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space with 12-foot coffered ceilings, designer lighting, and an expansive open-concept layout. Premium finishes include brazilian quartzite countertops, custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, LED lighting, tinted windows with motorized shades, and energy-efficient upgrades throughout.
