Description

Welcome to your private hilltop retreat—where wide-open views, timeless craftsmanship, and unforgettable character come together on 1.65 acres. This sprawling 5-bed, 3-full-bath ranch offers the kind of setting people dream about: rolling countryside panoramas, a long winding driveway, and pure serenity the moment you pull in. Step inside and take in the heart of the home—an inviting living space wrapped in oversized picture windows and anchored by a rustic stone fireplace, one of 3. Whether it’s sunrise coffee or sunset cocktails, the views steal the show. The kitchen delivers classic warmth with rich wood cabinetry, updated stainless appliances, and plenty of prep space. The lower level is an entertainer’s haven, complete with a full game room, bar area, lounge space, and that cozy stone-front office perfect for work, hobbies, or unwinding by the fire. Car lovers, hobbyists, or anyone who needs serious storage will appreciate the massive detached building with oversized garage doors—ideal for equipment, vehicles, or a workshop setup. There’s also a dedicated workshop inside the home and a workspace ready for projects of any scale. And then… the property’s most unexpected gem: a meticulously crafted Old Western-style jail outbuilding—a one-of-a-kind conversation piece and a standout feature your guests will never forget. Outdoors, the land opens up around you—lush, open, and usable. Space for gatherings, relaxation, or simply breathing in the quiet. Homes like this don’t come around often. This is a place to spread out, recharge, and enjoy the kind of lifestyle you can’t duplicate. Please do not drive up the driveway without an appointment!! Security cameras are on the premises.
