Gracefully positioned on 25.38 secluded acres bordering nearly 7,900 acres of Rothrock State Forest, this custom-built mountain estate offers an unmatched blend of privacy, craftsmanship & natural beauty. Built by renowned local craftsman Emanuel Esh of Ridgeview Builders in 2008, this residence was thoughtfully designed to embrace its woodland surroundings while offering timeless style, modern efficiency & everyday comfort. The covered front porch offers a warm introduction to an interior highlighted by a gracious foyer, rich oak hardwood flooring throughout the first & second levels, soaring 9-foot ceilings & quality finishes throughout. The comfortable family room showcases custom built-in cabinetry & shares a striking double-sided fireplace with the breathtaking great room, creating warmth & a seamless connection between the home's primary gathering spaces. The great room serves as the centerpiece of the residence with its dramatic 35-foot ceiling, exposed timber beams & a stunning wall of floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the space with natural light while framing the surrounding forest. The formal dining room flows seamlessly into the beautifully appointed kitchen featuring granite countertops, tile backsplash, abundant cabinetry, an island with storage & breakfast bar, plus an oversized walk-in pantry. A conveniently located laundry/mudroom & separate powder room complete the main level. The open hardwood staircase leads to a loft overlooking the great room. The second floor offers 4 spacious bedrooms & 3 full bathrooms. The owner's suite provides a peaceful retreat with a private balcony, propane fireplace, two walk-in closets & a spa-inspired bath featuring radiant heated tile floors, BainUltra soaking tub, double vanity & separate shower. 2 additional bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, while a 900-square-foot private suite offers endless possibilities with its own exterior entrance, kitchenette, living area, full bathroom, private balcony & interior access, making it ideal for extended family, overnight guests or multigenerational living. The finished walk-out lower level expands the home's living space with 10-foot ceilings, radiant heated floors, a spacious recreation room centered around a stone wood-burning fireplace, a large den, office & an additional full bathroom, creating an inviting space for entertaining or everyday living. Designed for year-round comfort & peace of mind, the home features geothermal heating & cooling with 4 independent climate zones, central air, Superior poured foundation walls, Marvin windows & doors, a whole-house Generac generator, radon mitigation system, security system & owned 1,000-pound buried propane tank. Additional amenities include an attached two-car garage with a ventless propane heater & a detached 35' x 24' garage offering ample space for vehicles, recreational equipment, hobbies or workshop space. Outdoor living is equally impressive. A composite wraparound deck, private balconies, hot tub & peaceful surroundings create the perfect backdrop for everything from quiet mornings with coffee to evenings spent watching wildlife beneath the stars. With thousands of acres of protected Commonwealth land bordering the property, you'll enjoy unmatched privacy along with direct access to hiking, hunting, wildlife viewing & endless outdoor recreation right from your backyard. Although this mountain retreat feels worlds away, it is conveniently located just minutes from Route 322 & approximately 25 minutes from Penn State University, offering the perfect balance of secluded mountain living with convenient access to State College's shopping, dining & everyday amenities. Property is currently enrolled in Clean & Green. Buyer will be responsible for submitting a new Clean & Green application following settlement.
