TIMBER-FRAME ESTATE ON 10 ACRES WITH INGROUND POOL, EXPANSIVE BARN, VERSATILE OUTBUILDINGS, & A 4,544 SQ FT HOME BUILT TO IMPRESS! Call it a farmhouse if you want, but this 10-acre estate works harder than most properties ever will, with outbuildings built to perform and a 4,544 sq ft home that redefines rural craftsmanship. Anchoring the property is a 4,500 sq ft barn with box stalls, paddocks, and tack space, a heated 62 x 38 ft saltbox-style workshop, multiple accessory buildings, and a two-car garage, perfect for home-based businesses, contractors, or equestrian enthusiasts. The home stands among open fields and mature trees, showcasing steep gables, brick and board-and-batten siding, an updated steel roof, and an outdoor retreat with an inground saltwater 20 x 40 ft pool, a pool house with a shower and change room, and a timber-framed covered patio. The great room showcases true timber-frame craftsmanship, with soaring wood-plank ceilings, expansive arched windows, and a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace crowned by a wood mantle and chandelier, and in-floor radiant heat throughout most of the home. Handcrafted wood cabinets, stone counters, open shelving, and a large island with an apron sink make the kitchen the perfect gathering place, while the breakfast nook invites casual mornings and the formal dining room provides an elegant setting with a fireplace and patio access. A main-floor office offers a dedicated workspace, while upstairs, a billiards room with vaulted ceilings and arched windows overlooks the great room and flows into a large family/games area. The primary suite enjoys its own private wing, accessed by a separate staircase, with a walk-in closet and ensuite featuring a jetted tub. Every part of this estate, from the surrounding acreage to the timber-frame home and equipped outbuildings, is ready to support a lifestyle of work, recreation, and country living at its finest.
