This exquisite property boasts a private arboretum, home to an extensive collection of rare and common botanical specimens spanning over 12.4 acres. The property features an array of fruit trees, flowering trees, bushes, and perennials, creating a harmonious blend of nature and beauty.
The residence, situated secludedly off the road, offers ultimate tranquility and charm. Its three-car garage provides ample parking space. The property's perimeter is fenced with a gate at the roadside entrance, ensuring privacy and seclusion.
Established paths guide visitors through the gardens, offering a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The intoxicating fragrances of the plants, particularly, spring through fall, create an enchanting ambiance.
The home's layout has been thoughtfully designed with ample south-facing SmartSun Anderson Windows, providing the benefits of Low-E glass while shielding the home from excessive heat and filtering out 95% of harmful UV rays, allowing for optimal sunlight intake.
The first and second floors feature fully equipped bathrooms, enabling convenient first-floor living. The current layout includes two primary bedroom suites with a two-bedroom septic system, but additional living spaces can be easily created to accommodate changing needs. A full, unfinished daylight basement serves as a blank slate for future expansion projects. A mostly complete list (map) of plantings can be furnished by request).
