Set against the quiet backdrop of the New Salem countryside, this custom-built estate offers a rare blend of privacy, intentional design, and elevated everyday living-crafted for those who value both space and experience. From the moment you enter, the home opens into a striking main living area where soaring 12-foot ceilings, natural light, and thoughtful architectural details create an immediate sense of scale and warmth. The formal dining room and wet bar-finished with leathered granite-set the tone for effortless entertaining, whether hosting intimate dinners or larger gatherings. At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen is both functional and refined, featuring custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, an expansive island, and a professional-grade Monogram appliance package, including a double wall oven. The surrounding breakfast room, keeping room, and dedicated wine room create a seamless flow of spaces designed for connection and conversation. For elevated hosting, a secondary serving kitchen provides the perfect staging area-keeping the main kitchen pristine while supporting larger events with ease. The gathering room lives up to its name, offering an open yet inviting space where everyday moments and special occasions naturally come together. Just beyond, the sunroom-anchored by one of the home's two gas fireplaces-invites you to slow down and enjoy peaceful views with abundant natural light. The primary suite is a true retreat, thoughtfully designed with three oversized walk-in closets, dual vanities, and a spa-inspired bath featuring a walk-in shower with built-in seating. A nearby study-with exterior access to a fenced pet yard-offers flexibility for work, hobbies, or everyday convenience. On the opposite wing, two well-appointed guest bedrooms, a full bath, and a private office provide comfort and separation for guests or multi-use living. Outdoor living is where this property truly shines. The enclosed porch, complete with Easy Breeze windows and an Infratech heater, creates a year-round living space that feels fully integrated with the outdoors. A grilling gazebo, patio, and enclosed pavilion extend the experience even further-offering multiple areas to gather, dine, and unwind while taking in the surrounding landscape. The grill (which is connected t0 propane), and the large umbrella on the sun terrace will remain! Across the gravel drive, the detached three-car garage-fully powered with individual bays-adds both function and flexibility, complemented by an Amish-built shed ideal for storage or workshop use. Built with intention, the home includes a number of thoughtful upgrades such as reinforced exterior doors, a 300-foot artesian well producing 40 gallons per minute, water softener system, dual electric water heaters, crawlspace ventilation, generator hookup, and multiple French drains for efficient water management. Set on nearly 4 acres, this property delivers the feel of a private retreat-without sacrificing comfort, usability, or connection to everyday life. This is a home designed for gathering, for slowing down, and for living well-where every space serves a purpose and every detail enhances the experience.
