100 Woodland Dr, El Dorado, AR 71730

‘Pools and Fountains Grace a Ranch House’ 100 Woodland Drive featured in Arkansas Gazette Home and Garden Section, Sunday October 12, 1952. “It is probable that no private dwelling ever built in Arkansas has aroused more wide-spread public interest than the residence recently completed in El Dorado for Mr. and Mrs. T. M. Martin. It is a big house, carefully planned for the extensive entertaining that inevitably falls to the lot of the president of a major oil company." By Mildred Wood. While constructed specifically for entertaining friends and family, this property is also a gated retreat providing serenity and privacy when needed. At 6,000 square feet and situated on 4.5 gated acres (10 Lots) in Colony Country Club, this one level home doesn’t disappoint! Walls of floor to ceiling glass allow for abundant natural light with private views of mature landscaping and soothing water features. Room proportions are grand with 10’ ceilings and custom finishes including recessed lighting, marble floors, Crab-Orchard stone from Oklahoma, and Southern Red-Gum wood. Additionally, the living room boasts a stunning inlaid marble fireplace with gas logs insert (one of three gas fireplaces in the house) and is the perfect place to relax with friends and family. The separate, private bedroom wing of the estate has four bedrooms with three ensuite baths. All bathrooms were renovated and upgraded in 2010 to include new marble heated floors, new walk-in showers with multiple body sprays, rain shower heads and handmade artisan lighting. In the master bath, the built in two person Jacuzzi tub and two-person walk-in shower create a home spa experience. Not to mention, you'll never run out of hot water thanks to the high efficiency tankless water heaters dedicated solely to these bathrooms! The kitchen is a chef’s dream. Double convection wall ovens stand at the ready for baking needs, a built-in Thermador gas countertop six burner cooking station with commercial ventilation and a separate free standing gas stove provide all the additional ‘fire’ power for holiday or special event gatherings. And the kitchen's brick built in waist high wood grill is a real conversation starter! Perfect for grilling steaks over wood/charcoal, rotisserie chicken and overall ambience when friends visit, or the weather is inclement. Structured to not isolate the family chef allowing them to participate in gatherings, the kitchen includes a large indoor seating area with a beautiful glass wall looking out on a tranquil koi pond complete with lighting features and fountain as well as doorway access to outdoor patio seating. Regardless, the large kitchen island is perfect for serving a first course of appetizers and drinks before heading to the dining room or the multiple indoor entertaining areas. Or maybe it's al fresco and drinks are served by the kitchen fireplace before heading out to patio, pond, and gardens. Truly, a Shangri-La hidden in plain site!
