Dating back to the late 1930s and thoughtfully reimagined for modern living, this property blends timeless elegance with today's most sought-after amenities. The centerpiece of the estate is the Georgian-style Manor House, offering over 7,700 sq. ft. of refined living space. Completely renovated between 2011-2012, it retains its historic charm while introducing sophisticated updates. From the restored hardwood floors to the beautifully renovated baths, every detail was selected to reflect both quality and character.

Smart home technology ensures convenience at your fingertips, controlling everything from gates to lighting. Complementing the Manor House is a 2,200 sq. ft. Guesthouse that offers upscale single-level living with two bedrooms, two baths, a gourmet kitchen, family room, and laundry. The outdoor amenities are unmatched—enjoy a saltwater pool, full outdoor kitchen, expansive deck, pond, and stables. Six garage bays beneath the guesthouse provide abundant storage or workshop space. Adding to the estate's charm is the 800 sq. ft. Whiskey House, a cozy retreat for relaxing and enjoying the surrounding natural beauty. Manicured lawns, mature trees, and abundant wildlife create an unmatched setting of serenity and privacy.
