This isn't going to read like your average listing, descriptive words cannot do this home justice; the photos speak for themselves and attest to the superior quality and style this home brings. This is a home done right - no expense was spared and no corners were cut. Within these four walls you will find hopes, dreams, tears and the life savings of a hardworking American couple. During the construction period, the sellers watched as building costs tripled, making this dream-home financially unsustainable for their long-term budget. This story is shared with permission - sellers hope that the new owners will appreciate the finished product, what went into it and will write their own happily ever after. What pictures don't show is the on-demand hot water, the spray foam insulation (super low heating/cooling costs), natural gas, 220 in the barn, reverse osmosis drinking water and iron filtration system, Anderson windows, a 30 x 40 Morton Barn and a finished walk-out lower level -- the best part...this 5 acre estate is privately hidden behind a natural foliage barrier..home is not visible from the road. If all of this isn't enough - be sure to check out the upper level (sellers call it the 4th story) "babe cave"...this hidden bonus space is accessible by private entrances in each bedroom and has 5 ft ceilings! Whatever home means to you - this majestic estate checks all of the boxes.
