Expansive Modern Farm House On 8 Park-Like Acres
Renovated Modern Farmhouse on just under 8 acres and backs up to over 3,300 acres of Evansburg state park. There are 26 miles of trails in the park, along with fishing and hunting.
The home is certainly unique, and the original portion of the main house dates to the early 1800s. Through many additions, the home has expanded upon the original structure to include the main house, guest house, and garage.
On the outside, you'll find plenty of room to roam with expansive green space, hardscaped patios, porches, in-ground pool, pool pavilion, and even a playground! The front courtyard boasts a unique trellis structure along with plenty of seating, outdoor fireplace, and gas grill. The original stone portion of the home provides a quaint side porch with rocking chairs for you to slow the pace down a bit take in the serene surroundings. Finally, perhaps the best for last is the resort-like pool area. It's easy to spend an entire day lounging poolside, swimming, watching TV under the pavilion, or reading a book.... The list goes on as there's something for everyone! An additional item to note is the attached spa on the pool. The spa is only open when the pool is open but is available to use/heat independent of the pool in the fringe parts of the pool season such as April and into the end of October.
The original springhouse has been converted into a gym with free weights, heavy bag, rowing machine, and elliptical.
Moving into the fully renovated main house you'll find a voluminous 2 story foyer with grand floating spiral staircase. Wide plank flooring coursing through wide halls lead you to a gourmet kitchen equipped to handle any occasion. Kitchen features include a huge island with seating, dining table with seating for 6-8, couch/upholstered chairs, TV, fireplace, beverage bar, oversized gas range, pot-filler, 2 beverage refrigerators, and a commercial refrigerator. In the kitchen, you can interact with Alexa who will provide music throughout the home if you desire.
The main floor of the main home has 2 half baths and a full bath which is great for after the pool. There is a formal living room with wood burning fireplace,, a lounge area with pool table, wet bar, and beverage refrigerator. Off the lounge is a family room with cathedral ceilings, huge comfy couch, and 65" TV. Finally, completing the first floor is a den with luxurious leather furnishings, wood burning fireplace, and walls that would talk if they could!
Upstairs in the main house, find 5 bedrooms in 3 distinct areas.
The "beam" bedroom is the first of three "family suites" setup to sleep four with a queen bed and twin over twin bunk. Deep sills, vaulted ceiling, and exposed beams original to the home makes this one of the more architecturally interesting rooms in the house and for me personally one of my favorite! There is a full bath on the hall that can match this bedroom.
Moving forward in the upper hall, you'll find the "loft" area which has a living room with games, TV, comfy furnishings, and a wet bar. There are 3 bedrooms in the loft area are configured as follows. Bedroom 1 has a king bed, two closets, and a spectacular view of the front portion of the property. Bedroom 2 is adjacent to the full bath and is outfitted with a queen bed and walk in closet. Bedroom 3 sleeps 4 with two twin over twin bunk beds. Finally, there is a full bath with 2 vanities, freestanding double slipper soaking tub along with a glass enclosed shower.
The master suite - the second of three "family suites" starts with a fabulous morning room equipped with a wet bar, beverage fridge, and comfy chairs to decompress. Moving along you'll find the first of two sleeping quarters in the master wing outfitted with a twin over twin bunk bed, loveseat, gas fireplace, and TV. Finally, moving to the end of the master is another bedroom with a luxurious king bed, gas fireplace, TV, and unbelievable walk-in closet. Finally, pamper yourself in the full bath boasting a claw foot soaking tub, huge walk in STEAM shower for two, and double vanity.
The guest house is its own self-contained home with private entrance. There is a living room with TV and a fully-stocked kitchen with half bath. Upstairs, find the third "family suite" with 2 queen beds, a twin over twin bunk and a stylish full bath.
Early check-ins, and late check-outs are extremely hard to accommodate due to cleaning and maintenance schedules. Please do not assume these can be accommodated. If you would like more time, please book accordingly. Thank you for understanding!
*EXCESSIVE NOISE WILL ABSOLUTELY NOT BE TOLERATED.* With that said.... Sorry for the excessive caps! In all seriousness though I certainly don't want this to come off as our home being the "no fun house". Rather, I mention this simply to make the distinction between music being played at a reasonable volume vs at a 10 or someone yelling compared to people gathering and having a conversation. This would go for any time of the day but especially at night. The neighbors should not hear your music or feel like they're part of your conversation! Additonally, there are a total of 6 exterior cameras on-site. The locations are as follows - Front door, mudroom door, courtyard door, side porch door, guest house side door, and pavilion.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 6.5 bathrooms, and a balcony. There's space to spread out with 6 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a fireplace.
