Set amidst idyllic gardens and serene surroundings, this one-of-a-kind property is truly magical.

The fluid floor plan creates the perfect balance for intimate everyday living and refined entertaining. A lofted second-floor office overlooks the spectacular main living areas. The luxurious primary suite is a true sanctuary featuring a beautifully updated spa-inspired bath, walk-in closet, and stunning skylit loft space. Two additional bedrooms and an incredible treetop studio complete the second level. Located within a coveted enclave, this distinctive home represents a rare opportunity to own a true piece of functional art. Live surrounded by nature's beauty in a home unlike any other.
