THE ULTIMATE COASTAL SANCTUARY! Experience this tranquil forest estate on this lovingly maintained 7.47-acre estate bordering the majestic Redden Forest. This one-of-a-kind architectural masterpiece offers a rare blend of total privacy and prime location, creating a park-like atmosphere that remains a cool summer oasis and a sun-drenched winter retreat. The expansive 8,057-square-foot custom-built main residence defines grand-scale living across four meticulously planned levels, all easily accessible via a private residential elevator. At the heart of the home, a breathtaking two-story great room features walls of glass that frame panoramic forest views and fill the open-concept floor plan with dappled sunlight. The chef’s kitchen is a model of functional elegance, boasting soft-close cabinetry and abundant storage, while a signature spiral staircase leads to a third-floor study nestled high within the tree canopy for the ultimate peaceful escape. Luxury amenities abound, including a spectacular indoor spa wing with vaulted ceilings - maintained by a premium Desert Aire climate system - and an adjoining greenhouse for the botanical enthusiast. Outdoor living is equally refined, featuring a stone path that leads to a custom fire pit with circular stone seating, perfect for starlit gatherings. For the hobbyist or traveler, the oversized three-vehicle garage includes a specialized bay with a 20-foot door to accommodate a large RV or boat. Adding to the estate's versatility is a charming 532-square-foot detached guest cottage, complete with a kitchenette, full bath, and sunroom; ideal for a studio, home office, or extended family. Perfectly positioned just 30 minutes from the Rehoboth Beach boardwalk and Cape Henlopen State Park, this estate offers the best of both worlds: nature’s tranquility and vibrant coastal convenience. Bring your vision to this incredible property and create your personal legacy retreat. Schedule your private tour today!
