The interior spans 7,000+ sq. ft. over two levels of impeccably designed space and features 7 bedrooms, 6 king-size beds, and 4.5 bathrooms to comfortably accommodate up to 22 guests. Set on 7 acres of bucolic farmland, the home with an inground heated pool showcases gorgeous views of horses roaming behind classic white ranch fences. THE SPACE Enter through impressive double doors to the residence’s grand foyer that leads to the main level social areas. A large great room with soaring ceilings and a luxe seating area is centered around a wall of windows and glass doors that open to a 3-season room and never-ending views of the surrounding countryside. The residence’s designer kitchen is every chef’s dream with high end appliances including a gas range, prep island, and bar seating as well as a premium housewares package for creating and serving any type of meal. Enjoy dining with family and friends right in the kitchen at the 6-person table with a view of the TV and fireplace in the family room or take a more formal approach to entertaining in the separate elegant dining room in the front of the home. Four bedrooms are located on the main level, including the exclusive primary suite with magnificent king bed, smart TV, huge walk-in closet, private access to the 3-season room, and ensuite bath. A tub under a large picture window, separate walk-in steam shower, and dual vanity sinks are hallmarks of the impressive bathroom.

Additional sleeping options include a cozy full-size bed tucked under the stairs and portioned bunkroom for 4. These bedrooms share the home’s 3rd and 4th full bathrooms. The lower level is also home to a fantastic entertainment area with full kitchen, a bar, cozy lounge ideal for gathering to watch the big game on the smart TV next to the fireplace; and the home’s showstopper - an inground heated pool and new outdoor hot tub that will be a favorite spot for every guest in the group.

We celebrated my husband’s 50th birthday with a surprise Murder Mystery Dinner Party. We had 18 guests and then another 20 came by for the dinner party. The lower level allowed us to set up (4) round tables so we could all sit together. We brought in a caterer and bartender. The space was so perfect for what we needed. There were more extra towels and sheets in every closet. This house accommodates a large party very easily. We would love to come back in the summer and enjoy the pool! John was so terrific to work with. The house is so amazing!!

The family came together to spend quality time. The place was great, but the only down fall was all the mattresses was very uncomfortable. This was the experience of all my guest. Maybe all the beds can use mattress tops. Besides that the place and host was great.

We had a wonderful time celebrating an anniversary with 13 family members. The home and property were lovely. Ample space for all to enjoy time together. The pool, hot tub and lower level were particularly fun for the younger adults. John was terrific and very attentive to any needs we had.

This spacious home with good size outdoor pool and back yard, was a great gathering spot for my family. The cleaning staff were completing their service as I arrived and they were so helpful and gracious.

The house was great and felt really remote. The kids loved seeing the horses come right to the fence to say hi. John was AMAZING and very responsive when we needed anything. Long days at the pool tired all the kids (and adults) out and the fire pit was perfect in the evening.
