Nestled on approximately 5 secluded acres, this spectacular property blends luxury living with a warm, inviting farmhouse feel where no expense was spared. Step inside to discover a thoughtfully curated interior featuring oak hardwood floors throughout and ceramic tile in the kitchen and baths. The heart of the home is the gourmet chef’s kitchen, outfitted with cherry Omega cabinetry, sleek Corian countertops, and a granite island with built-in wine rack. High-end stainless steel appliances, including a 5-burner gas cooktop, make this kitchen as functional as it is beautiful. The entry level features a warm family room with stunning whitewashed fireplace and gas insert, a separate office with room for two, and a spacious dining area open to both the family room and kitchen for an open and airy feel. The dramatic primary suite is a retreat unto itself with vaulted ceilings, a sitting area, generous walk-in closets, and a spa-inspired ensuite featuring a Kohler Infinite 6-jetted tub. Throughout the home, custom moldings and distinctive coffered ceiling treatments elevate the character and detail. Outdoor enthusiasts and hobbyists alike will appreciate the impressive outbuildings, including a 1,700± sf building (heated & cooled) with lift, one 12-foot and three 10-foot overhead doors —perfect for car enthusiasts or equipment storage. Additionally, a 5-bay detached workshop/garage with an expansive lean-to offers even more protected space for tools, toys, or additional vehicles. Valley Farmhouse is more than just a home—it’s an estate for the discerning buyer seeking comfort, elegance, and the serenity of country living, all in one extraordinary package.
