About This Home
The epitome of luxurious one-level living. Set on a magnificent 3+ acre parcel in an exclusive private enclave, this extraordinary property is surrounded on three sides by the Heller Nature Preserve, offering 97 acres of protected land, serene privacy, and breathtaking natural beauty. Enjoy miles of scenic trails ideal for hiking, cross-country skiing, and horseback riding-an unmatched setting with endless possibilities. This remarkable 5,000 sq. ft. modern masterpiece showcases custom architectural features, high-end designer finishes, and a versatile floor plan perfectly suited for both everyday luxury living and grand-scale entertaining. The open-concept design seamlessly connects the great room, dining area, and gourmet chef's kitchen, while soaring ceilings and walls of glass flood the home with natural light and frame stunning views of the expansive grounds. The home offers the best of both worlds-an impressive open layout complemented by serene private spaces, including two primary suites, two additional bedrooms, 5.1 baths, a stunning office, and a delightful private den. The main primary suite is a true retreat, offering complete privacy, a spa-like bath with steam shower, custom walk-in closets, infrared sauna and built-in custom cabinetry. The finished lower level includes a family room, exercise room, bedroom, and full bath. Additional highlights include a heated 3+ car attached garage and professionally landscaped and hardscaped grounds featuring a tennis court and a heated in-ground spool (small pool with hot tub jets and fountains). While the property is not subdividable, it presents a rare opportunity to create an estate compound with additional structures such as a guest house, pool house, secondary residence, auto court, pickleball court, or horse stables. Direct access to the Heller Nature Preserve trails further enhances this exceptional offering. Truly a rare opportunity-offering a lifestyle that is difficult to replicate.
