About This Property

Welcome to your private retreat! This custom built home is truly special, nestled into the woods offering extreme privacy and endless opportunity for outdoor activities. As you progress down the driveway, the home is revealed to you - and the timber details and the wooded setting give it a "lodge" feel. The seller calls the great room "the lodge room" as the wooden arches and brackets continue in the ceiling details, the columns, and the in the heavy timber mantel. A stacked stone fireplace brings a warm a cozy feeling to a room that has soaring vaulted ceilings. If you are looking for a home with a "wow" when you greet your visitors, this is it! As you walk in the front door, and see the rafter details carrying all the way through to the back porch, and a full glass view framing the lush woods beyond - it is impressive! The kitchen is warm and inviting with tall cabinets, a side area that could be used for a coffee station or a bar, and is open to the casual living room space, called the keeping room. There is both bar seating and a breakfast room. Both the Lodge Room and the Keeping Room have built-in cabinets and the ceiling heights vary but are soaring on the first floor! The layout is designed for mostly one-floor living. The primary is on one end of the home, two bedroom suites are conveniently located on the other end. The first floor has a full office plus a built in work desk near the kitchen, plus laundry, mudroom, a casual keeping room living space, dining, breakfast room, and multiple porches. Upstairs is a landing - perfect for yoga or reading, a full bath, and a large bonus room. This space has a closet, and with a full bath upstairs it could make an ideal guest suite for longer visits! Connected to the rec room is another 'flex space" that could be an office, additional closet, or exercise room. It is currently furnished with two matching bunk bed sets. There is also a large walk-out attic space for easy storage. The porch spaces are spectacular - there is a rocking chair front porch, a screened back porch - perfect for al fresco dining- and a grand open back porch. The large porch echoes the vaulted ceiling found in the lodge room, and has a wood burning stone fireplace with a gas starter, and a built-in grill, outdoor sink, and mini-fridge. There are built-in speakers found in most of the rooms, and a video security system that will remain with the home. The crawl space is conditioned, and there is a hot water line run to the three-car garage for a future dog washing station. A portion of the back yard is fenced, and the beyond the fencing is the well house which offers ample space for the equipment and mirrors the style of the house. Sellers dug a 400' deep well, and installed a salt filtration system and UV light filter that are professionally maintained annually. The previous owners lived toward the front of the property, set a short distance from the current home. The electrical supply, well, and septic systems are all still in place should you want to add additional structures. The doors were built to accommodate a wheelchair, and the primary shower is curbless for easy access. There are both his & hers vanities, his & hers closets, and his & hers ends of the shower! The primary bedroom ceiling has a beautiful wood detail, and the windows overlook the back yard and woods beyond. This is the kind of home that you need to see to appreciate. It has the kind of quality construction that you can feel when you visit - and you will not want to leave! Convenient to downtown Waxhaw, and the JAARS flight facility.
