Hidden behind a gravel driveway is a scenic TRUE Barndominium, built and lived in by the custom builder himself. This architectural masterpiece blends the timeless charm of a barn-inspired exterior with a sophisticated craftsman/contemporary interior. Situated on a 2.5-acre homesite with no hoa, this property offers both luxury living and outdoor recreation. A welcoming front porch sets the tone for this exceptional home, featuring a dramatic gable truss supported by handcrafted timbers that create an impressive architectural statement. Expansive windows and immense garage doors give the thrill of the potential that can be held behind those doors. Don't forget to check out the back 4th garage that houses a large shop with a storage mezzanine above the adjoining mechanical room. As a side note, the water heater (in the mechanical room) is a hybrid electric/heat pump 65 gallon ProTerra by Rheem. The best of the best.
