One-of-a-Kind Sustainable Homestead on 53 Acres! A long, winding driveway welcomes you to this extraordinary estate, offering 53 acres of natural beauty and self-sufficient living. Imagine waking to the peaceful sounds of nature, enjoying your morning coffee on the expansive deck overlooking a private pond, or strolling the scenic hiking trails on your own land. Summers are made for fun in the above-ground pool, while year-round relaxation awaits in your private hot tub. This property is perfect for those dreaming of a hands-on, sustainable lifestyle. Gather fresh eggs from the hen house, harvest vegetables from the garden, tend to plants in the greenhouse or collect honey from your bee yard. Horse lovers will appreciate the separate 30x40 barn and wide-open acreage, while outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy a private shooting range, abundant hunting opportunities, and a heated, insulated 40x60 outbuilding with 14' clear door height-ideal for equipment, car hobbiest, or farming ventures. Inside, the home is just as impressive. The dramatic two-story great room, with soaring ceilings and walls of windows, fills the space with light. The remodeled gourmet kitchen is a chef's delight, featuring granite countertops, a spacious island, and a brand-new coffee bar with custom cabinetry-the perfect spot to start your day. New 7" live sawn oak hardwood floors extend across the second level, adding warmth and timeless elegance. At the end of the day, retreat to the master suite, complete with a cozy sitting room, massive walk-in closet, and spa-inspired bath. The finished walkout basement offers additional living space, abundant storage, and room for entertaining or hosting guests. This property is more than a home-it's a lifestyle. A rare opportunity to embrace self-sufficiency, a connection to nature, and modern comfort-all on a breathtaking, one-of-a-kind estate.
