Welcome to The Princeton Preserve, a secluded sanctuary set on nearly 49 acres of pristine grounds. A mile-long private drive winds through untouched landscape before revealing a timeless estate designed for elevated living. Inside, gracious proportions and sunlit spaces unfold across all levels: bedrooms thoughtfully placed for privacy, a grand double-height foyer, a richly paneled office and a soaring two-story breakfast room that stuns with scale and natural light. The gourmet kitchen, complete with butler's pantry, opens to a series of elegant entertaining spaces, perfect for intimate gatherings or large celebrations. Designed with lifestyle in mind, the home flows effortlessly to the outdoors, where resort-level amenities await: an infinity-edge pool and spa, sports court, summer kitchen, expansive stone terraces and a private pond that reflects the changing seasons. The setting is tranquil, the views unending and the sense of escape complete. The lower level is a blank canvas ready to fulfill your vision, whether a wellness retreat, home theater, sports court or recording studio. A separate lower level with garage door offers the ideal setup for car collectors or hobbyists. With acreage suited perfectly for equestrian development, the possibilities are endless. At The Princeton Preserve, privacy, natural beauty and architectural scale converge to create a legacy estate without compromise.
