Discover a Timeless English Tudor Estate

Nestled on 140 acres of pristine land, this exceptional estate is a masterpiece of craftsmanship and elegance. With stunning brickwork that took two skilled artisans six months to complete, the exterior features exquisite quoin corners and intricate dental detailing, highlighted by six majestic bricked arches. Two solid masonry chimneys grace the property, expertly designed to complement four fireplaces, including a breathtaking mirror-image fireplace in the Den/Family Room, crafted with premium Kimberly fire brick and topped with European-style clay chimney caps.

Step inside to be enchanted by the filled Honduras mahogany that adorns the grand foyer and main living areas. The rich, warm tones of this luxurious wood create an inviting atmosphere, enhanced by a filled mahogany front door featuring leaded and beveled glass, and an elegant coffered ceiling in the Den/Family Room. Custom built-in mahogany bookcases, ornate wainscoting, and hand-carved mantels further elevate the interior's opulence.

Light dances throughout the home, thanks to exquisite custom lighting that sets a warm, inviting tone in every room. A massive antique chandelier graces the foyer, while hand-painted crystal fixtures in the dining room, paired with strategically placed accent lighting, highlight the beauty of art and décor. Outside, gas lights and ambient landscape lighting create a serene evening atmosphere.

This estate is not just about beauty; it is designed for modern living. Enjoy the convenience of a marble foyer with brass inlay, built-in entertainment cabinetry with surround sound, and a dining room accent wall that is entirely mirrored, offering both style and functionality. The master bath invites relaxation with a pocket door adorned with ornate etched glass, leading to a luxurious steam shower. Additionally, two upstairs bedrooms boast built-in study desks, while the laundry room features a practical Murphy ironing board.

Embrace sustainability with a state-of-the-art ground source closed loop geothermal heating and cooling system, ensuring unparalleled efficiency and quiet operation. The plumbing system, 90% copper, supports modern living, and the 400 amp underground electrical service is a true engineering marvel, showcasing meticulous attention to detail.

The estate's foundation is fortified with 12” steel-reinforced concrete walls, topped with GAF HD Timberline shingles that carry a lifetime warranty.

Surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty, the property includes one-third open land ideal for gardening or farming, while the remaining two-thirds is lush woodland, perfect for exploring deer trails. A custom pond irrigation system ensures your garden flourishes, and a backup drilled well provides peace of mind for self-sufficiency.

Conventional systems use whatever the air temperature is outside to heat or cool their heat pump. Also the system makes no more noise than a refrigerator. The estimate for this system today is in excess of $100k. In addition, heat is further pulled off the unit by using the waste heat to run the 3 Water Heaters. In effect you are getting free hot water while making the heat pump more efficient.
