From sunrise to sunset, this exceptional ranch home captures sweeping countryside views that stretch for miles in every direction. Striking curb appeal and refined custom design define the residence, where contemporary farmhouse influences blend seamlessly with timeless estate-style elegance. Set on a spacious homesite with a scenic treeline backdrop, the home features a crisp white James Hardie exterior, black-framed Marvin windows, an inviting covered entry, and a distinctive arched double front door that creates a memorable first impression. Inside, the expansive great room serves as the heart of the home, highlighted by a vaulted wood ceiling and a custom window above the patio door that beautifully echoes the arch of the front entry. Designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining, the dining area is just steps from the kitchen, while the living room with a gas fireplace offers a warm and welcoming gathering space. Just beyond, the large covered deck showcases Trex decking and aluminum railings with glass panels, allowing you to enjoy the remarkable views from both inside and out. Kitchen highlights include custom cabinetry, soapstone countertops and backsplash, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, and an expansive island with waterfall-finished ends, while the butler's pantry adds both style and function. White oak plank floors bring a sophisticated yet rustic warmth throughout the home, complemented by vertical tongue-and-groove accents that create a cohesive custom feel. The primary suite is a true retreat, offering sunrise views from both the bedroom and the shower. The en-suite bath features a curbless shower, double vanity, water closet, and separate his-and-hers closets with custom wood cabinetry and shelving, with the laundry room conveniently adjoining the primary closet. Near the garage entrance, the home office enjoys beautiful sunset views, while two additional bedrooms are positioned on the opposite side of the home and are served by an equally impressive bath, built-in hall shelving, and custom wood closet design. The home is painted using a color drenching technique. The heated four-car garage is a standout space of its own, complete with epoxy floors, hot and cold running water, a wall-mounted pressure washer, air compressor, and electric cord reel, all of which remain with the home. The garage also provides access to the deep-pour walkout basement, where more than 1,000 square feet is already finished, along with an additional 2,000 square feet of unfinished space ready to be customized to your needs. A thoughtfully designed heated drive with decorative concrete and grass accents leads to the garage, while manicured landscaping and clean architectural lines enhance the home's polished presence. With its harmonious facade, generous setting, and exceptional custom details, this one-of-a-kind property offers a rare blend of sophistication, comfort, and unforgettable curb appeal.
