About This Home
Home is truly where comfort meets lifestyle in this exceptional, one-of-a-kind estate. Known as Bears Head Preserve, this remarkable property is tucked away on nearly 15 acres of scenic, wooded land, offering a private retreat defined by craftsmanship, character, and modern comfort. Combining seclusion, a true rural lifestyle, and space for your own animals, the property features private walking trails and agroforestry, along with an educational space designed to celebrate and connect with nature. The main residence, a striking modern farmhouse, features two distinct living areas thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The main level showcases an open-concept kitchen, living, and dining area with sweeping views of the grounds and surrounding wildlife. A 14-foot fiberglass balcony extends the living space outdoors, with stairs leading down to the backyard. Inside, warm wood flooring and refined farmhouse finishes create a welcoming yet elevated aesthetic, with the home offered fully furnished and move-in ready. The primary suite features a walk-in closet and a spacious en-suite bathroom complete with a garden tub and separate shower. Two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a laundry room complete this level. The lower level offers a fully independent living space with a dining area, living room, three bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a second laundry room, an ideal setup for multigenerational living, providing comfort and flexibility for extended family or guests. Upon arrival, you’re greeted by friendly ducks and chickens, enhancing the property’s authentic farm lifestyle. A standout feature is the beautifully finished barn, perfectly suited for gatherings and special events. Thoughtfully designed, it includes oversized sliding doors, ambient string lighting, fire pits, heating and air, a dedicated parking area, professional landscaping, and a full bar. Walking trails throughout the property invite you to explore the serene surroundings and enjoy a true connection to nature. Recent updates include a newer septic system (2021), a newer hot water heater, and a GAF roof replaced within the last five years. The barn, approximately three years old, adds exceptional versatility. Secluded yet conveniently located near everything, Bear's Head Preserve is a rare opportunity to own a truly distinctive estate, offering tranquility and a lifestyle deeply connected to nature, where every day feels like a retreat.
