One of a kind home with breathtaking views of the woods and hills of this private 32 acre estate. Deer, fox, rabbits, ducks and birds of all types frequent the property. Truly a nature's paradise, all just minutes from downtown.
A gate at the front entry provides additional security. Pastures on both sides of the property provide plenty of opportunity for grazing, riding and jumping. Shown in the background are additional stables.
Colorful hydrangea and elephant ears grace the bridge over the koi pond at the entrance of the home. Lighting is tucked away in the trees for evening entertaining. A hand-laid brick walkway connects the different entertaining areas of the multi-level deck
A covered porch provides a restful respite from the sun and brings the indoors to the out-of-doors. A great place to read or watch for wildlife in the cool of the evenings. Outside storage provides a place to keep cushions out of the sun when not in use.
No other fireplace exists like this in the world. Created by renowned artist, Peter King. Valued at $50,000 today. A fabulous focal point for this incredible home. This amazing piece of art is approximately twelve feet wide!
A kitchen built for parties! Rare cat's eye granite countertops are the perfect backdrop to your party dishes. The kitchen island moves easily to expand the buffet line - or to create more room for the chef's helpers.
Kitchenaid and LG stainless steel appliances make this kitchen a gourmet chef's dream! Custom cabinets offer lots of storage. Lighting under the shelves makes reading those faded, handwritten recipes much easier. Plenty of room for the chef and guests!
The open layout of the kitchen, dining and living area combined with travertine tile floor make this home an entertainer's dream come true. Three air conditioning units keep things cool in the summer.
The open-style custom built wooden staircase is almost as much of a focal point as the Peter King fireplace and gives the home a lodge-like feel.
High ceilings and a wall of wide windows fill the downstairs with natural light. From the windows are a view of the lush landscaping and lawn that gently slopes to the spring-fed pond.
The gracious master bedroom offers high ceilings and a large walk-in master closet with built in shelves and plenty of room for two. Soft carpet, natural lighting make this a truly restful room. To the left in this photo is the master bath.
Duel sinks on gorgeous granite counters and a duel head shower make sharing this master bath a pleasure. A washer and dryer hookup offer even more convenience (although a second hookup is upstairs for the second floor bedrooms).
A view looking down the stairs from the three bedrooms on the second floor. Not shown upstairs are additional bedrooms/offices, a washer/dryer hookup and additional water heater.
After a day of riding (horses or ATVs), fishing, birdwatching or hiking trails, look forward to a sunset bath in the garden tub with a breathtaking view of the pond and pastures. A more perfect ending to a perfect day is hard to imagine.
The second floor bedroom is almost an additional master bedroom into itself. Large windows open to a small balcony, giving incredible scenery of the estate. Across the hall are two additional bedrooms/offices. All second floor rooms have ample storage.
Whether to entertain inside or outside could be the hardest decision of your next party - perhaps a combination of both? A great place for watching fireflies and evening wildlife...
All the fun of camping with the luxury of still being at home - make s'mores over the campfire on your deck! This firepit makes the home feel more like a cabin out in Colorado than an easy drive out to the most beautiful beaches on the gulf coast.
The spring fed pond is filled with fish of all varieties, ducks and other waterfowl and a small dock gives you a place to launch a canoe, kayak or even a paddleboard for a little adventure. Additionally the pond serves as a water supply for irrigation.
Each barn or stable can be set with multiple pasturing options to suit your needs. Thoughtful landscaping, flowering window boxes and attention to detail add a surprising touch of style. A hot water wash rack and Spraymaster fly system are an added bonus!
Barn I features comfortable spot to sit and share the day's adventures, plus a nice place to display photos of family riding adventures (or perhaps showcase some awards?)
Concrete floors help keep this barn neat and clean. Rubber mats top the concrete and fans are located above each stall for the comfort of the horses. Barns II and III feature plenty of storage plus brood mare stalls and access to additional pastures.
The air conditioned tack room has plenty of room for saddles, bridles, helmets, outerwear, treats and feed. A sink for washing up and refrigerator for cold drinks keep you comfortable when it's warm.
The caretaker's efficiency apartment is located above the large storage barn (plenty of room for ATVs, tractors, trailers or even boats. Located on the second floor, it has a great view of the pasture and the entry drive. More photos available.
The efficiency apartment features a living room with eat-in kitchen, full bath and generous bedroom - all with windows overlooking the property. Just outside the door is a deck amidst the oaks giving it a treehouse feel.
