Welcome to a rare opportunity to own a peaceful, private sanctuary at the dead end of a road, right in the heart of Piedmont Heights.

The outdoor layout boasts extensive mature woods, three duck ponds, a newly redone entertaining deck, a hot tub with a brand-new cover, a relaxing barrel sauna, and a dedicated greenhouse for gardening enthusiasts. Storage and workspace are abundant with a 3-stall garage, three additional storage sheds, a roofed camper or boat port, and a newer insulated metal pole barn that is prepped for a main electrical drop and radiant floor heating equipment.

The entire interior features stunning, rich cedar and ash tongue-and-groove wood finishes throughout that were milled and hand-fitted on-site during construction, completely eliminating drywall and paint. The open-concept main floor features bright living spaces, a beautifully updated kitchen boasting gorgeous granite countertops, one bedroom, a bathroom and an office/flex space. The kitchen incorporates ceramic tile floors and backsplash, pull out cabinet drawers, lots of storage and a barely used Bosch super silent stainless steel dishwasher.. Upstairs, the master bedroom loft suite offers custom closet features and a private bathroom with a jetted bathtub. The partially finished walk-out lower level includes a finished flex space served by a third bathroom with a shower. The unfinished lower level space includes a laundry area, more storage and plumbing hookups for a future kitchenette. This lower level offers an ideal setup for multiple uses including a teenage retreat, man cave or an in-law suite. Systems include a private well with naturally soft water, city sewer connection, efficient electric baseboard heat paired with a cozy main-floor propane gas log stove, and wall air conditioning. This property offers the ultimate blend of secluded nature and neighborhood convenience perfect for the outdoor enthusiast.
