A timeless treasure, it is an exceptional secluded estate on 2.8+ acres of meticulously landscaped grounds. This rare property exudes subtle elegance from the bespoke interior design to the sweeping unobstructed vista views. Inside, discover a harmonious blend of grandeur and comfort, where the living spaces are tailored for both relaxed everyday life and lavish entertaining. With nearly 4,300 SF on the main level, the home is balanced at either end with personal living spaces, flanking the central formal foyer that opens to the greeting and dining rooms. The chef's kitchen is a highlight for those who enjoy meal prep and entertaining, with a highly desired scullery for harboring everyday appliances and keeping daily routines organized. The vast screened porch (2022) with remote-controlled Phantom screens is accessed from the great room that features a fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows. The owners suite on western side of the home is an oasis with its significant spa-retreat bathroom and separate ''zen'' room with soaking tub and views on three sides. The expansive primary dressing room and customized closet features boutique shelving and varied storage options for keeping essentials and accessories always organized. You won't be disappointed. Upstairs explore the open layout with a central media room, two ensuite guest rooms and an office. Walk-out to a covered, screened terrace overlooking the back yard-- perfect for greeting the morning and stargazing at the finale. Meander along the stone path winding through the property and savor a quiet moment on a bench. The impressive paver circular driveway can accommodate multiple guest vehicles and leads to the two garages -- one attached double and a single detached. Unique to this all brick home is the materials used in the construction -- built to withstand hurricane force winds. Warm, yet sophisticated, this home captures the essence of Governors Club living--private, distinctive, and endlessly inviting.
