The Modern Farmhouse With Acreage

Imagine sipping your morning coffee in a sunroom overlooking the beautiful, landscaped yard while watching the wildlife play on the horizon or coming home and jumping on the UTV with your favorite beverage to ride the trails to unwind after a long day! Do not miss this opportunity of country living within 30-minute access to city conveniences.

The house, custom built in 2007, is approximately a 3700 sq foot open floor plan designed with lots of light and concepts to make everyday living simple, easy, and low maintenance. The house was featured in the New Homes & Ideas Fall 2008 magazine! This 4 bedroom 2 ½ bath home sits on 53 beautiful acres; it is pure country elegance on the outside, with a modern open floor plan that flows well for entertaining or a quiet evening with your family.

The large master suite is on the first floor with a large 2-vanity bathroom that walks into his and her closets. The first floor features an extra space that could be an office, playroom, craft/sewing room, etc. And the large utility/laundry room doorsteps out to the back porch for easy access after working or playing hard on the farm!

If you love to entertain or cook, this kitchen with its large central island is for you! The French-inspired Cuisines Laurier black stained cabinets pair beautifully with the Caesarstone quartz countertops. The glass-tiled backsplash from Tessera, above the gas range, gives an illusion of smoke rising as it goes from black to gray as it climbs the wall. Appliances are stainless steel with a large walk-in pantry for added storage and work area. Step out into the glass-enclosed sunroom, with propane gas hook up for the log fireplace, and entertain no matter what the weather. For those cool evenings, step out across the yard to enjoy the fire pit area.

The kitchen also opens into the living room with 24' ceilings covered in acrylic-coated corrugated tin, no painting ever! The oversized gas logs are framed by windows on the entire wall overlooking the pastures. The staircase was inspired by Grandfather Mountain, with stainless steel rails, a C-Channel steel stringer, and industrial aluminum treads. Up the stairs, you will find 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, a huge flex space that opens to a small balcony on the back of the house, and there is approximately 340 sq ft of unfinished attic space with endless possibilities.

This property provides an amazing 1700 sq ft heated workshop/living space. The building has a bathroom, kitchen, and living room area that can be shut from the workshop area. It also includes a covered front porch, lean-tos on the sides, a large workspace, and the back area storage; you can make this space whatever your heart desires. The workshop area has 2 garage doors on the front, and a 14' tall garage door on the side. The backside is another separate room for storage, woodworking, craft room, etc. which steps out the back to yet another covered area. The knotty wood planks lining the majority of the walls give it a warm rustic vibe. So many possibilities!

If you love all things outdoors, the property offers endless opportunities. There is room to pasture horses, cows, or goats—acres to try your hand at gardening. The back area of the property is a wood-lined wetland area where you'll often see deer, turkey, and ducks. With little underbrush, you will enjoy exploring the wooded area.

This property is also being sold with a single-wide trailer at the front of the property. It has 2 bedrooms and 1 bath and has been updated with paint and flooring. It has space heaters and window air conditioning units. It also features a lovely covered wooden deck: a great guest house or rental property. Or sell the trailer.
