Luxury, privacy, and exceptional space come together in this stunning 6,800+ finished square foot custom home nestled on 2.5 private wooded acres just minutes from Decatur within the Cerro Gordo school district. A winding circular driveway welcomes you to your own secluded retreat, where breathtaking seasonal lake views and peaceful wooded surroundings create the perfect backdrop for everyday living.
Step inside to a grand two-story foyer that opens to a dramatic living room with soaring ceilings and walls of windows that flood the home with natural light. The spacious main-floor primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a vaulted ceiling, oversized walk-in closet, jetted tub, double walk-in shower, and spa-like bath.
The chef's kitchen is designed for both entertaining and everyday living with granite countertops, slate backsplash, three ovens, abundant cabinetry, and a breakfast nook that opens to a large deck overlooking the fenced backyard, mature woods, and seasonal lake views.
With four bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, and multiple flex spaces, this home offers the versatility to easily accommodate five or even six bedrooms if desired. Upstairs, two bedrooms each enjoy their own private full bath, while the bonus room includes a convenient Murphy bed for additional guests.
The walk-out lower level is an entertainer's dream, complete with an expansive family and recreation area, a fully equipped wet bar, fourth bedroom, full bath, and an incredible amount of finished storage—including multiple walk-in closets within closets.
This meticulously maintained home offers peace of mind with a pre-inspection already completed, a radon mitigation system installed, annual HVAC and septic servicing, and a new roof in 2021. If you've been searching for a private executive home with incredible square footage, flexible living space, and a location that's close to town while feeling miles away, this is a rare opportunity you won't want to miss.
