Description

Set in the rolling countryside just minutes from Poplar Hill and 15 minutes to London, this estate blends the soul of an 1850's farmhouse with a complete, no expense spared rebuild in 2018. Privately positioned on nearly 3 acres with three expansive ponds, the setting feels alive. Deer move quietly through the trees, blue herons track the shoreline, and each season brings a different kind of stillness and movement across the landscape. Inside, over 8,600 sq ft of finished living space unfolds across four thoughtfully designed levels, offering four bedrooms including a rare main-floor suite ideal for multi-generational living, and 4.5 refined bathrooms. The kitchen anchors the home with a statement island, 48-inch SMEG gas range, and commercial grade refrigerator and freezer. From here, the space opens into a sunken living room overlooking the ponds, while a light-filled sunroom transitions naturally through the seasons. Exposed beams, a custom steel staircase, and wood-burning brick fireplace bring character, warmth and scale. The upper level feels quietly removed, featuring a primary suite with a refined ensuite and private terrace overlooking the grounds, along with 2 additional bedrooms, one complete with its own 4 piece ensuite. Outdoor living is where this property separates itself. A covered lanai with a wood-burning fireplace and retractable windscreens creates a true extension of the home, designed for use well beyond the summer months. Just steps away, a private courtyard is centered around a saltwater pool and hot tub, offering a setting that feels both relaxed and intentional. A separate 2 bedroom apartment provides flexibility for extended family, guests, or potential income, finished to a standard that mirrors the main home. The 4 bay garage offers exceptional space for vehicles, storage, and workspace, easily accommodating everything from daily drivers to recreational equipment. This is the kind of property that rarely comes to market.
