This rare property offers 3 separate residences, making it perfect for discerned buyers seeking a private compound. At the heart of the estate is the crown jewel: a meticulously restored 7,000 sqft farmhouse that masterfully combines modern luxury with timeless charm. This whole house renovation, completed in 2023 by acclaimed Prutting Custom Builders and designed by renowned architect Joeb Moore, also includes a stunning new addition.

The estate also showcases a newly constructed 2-bedroom apartment above a 3-bay garage, complete with a private deck overlooking the picturesque park-like lawn, and a gym with a full bath. Across the property, an award-winning 1-bedroom guest cottage boasts a dramatic 2-story great room, an updated kitchen, a sunroom with a cozy fireplace w/breathtaking views, and a new ADA-compliant bathroom. Additional structures include a barn with an indoor basketball hoop-ideal for recreation or reimagined into something special, a former stable, a 2-story hobby house ideal for a separate home office/creative studio, a historic barn, and a seasonal flower and vegetable garden adding to the charm!
