Property Description
Set on 24 beautiful acres just 2 miles from Foley, this exceptional custom-built home offers a rare blend of refined craftsmanship, thoughtful design, privacy & effortless functionality. Designed with an emphasis on quality, accessibility, durability & the enjoyment of its remarkable natural surroundings. A sweeping 375’ asphalt driveway leads to the residence, creating an impressive approach & plenty of privacy. Approximately 20 wooded acres with trails & deer stands, along with four acres of open yard & field. Wildlife including deer, bear, turkey & pheasant have been known to visit, making this an especially appealing setting for those who appreciate the outdoors & the tranquility of country living. Equally impressive is the home’s exterior, featuring rock accents & maintenance-free steel roof & siding. This premium upgrade provides exceptional durability & minimal upkeep, lasting 40 to 70 years—twice as long as standard-grade vinyl or asphalt shingles—offering a rare level of long-term value & protection. The raised rock cement patio offers a beautiful outdoor gathering space overlooking the backyard & woods without the maintenance associated with a traditional wood deck. A substantial triple attached insulated & sheet-rocked garage features floor drains, built-in shelving, overhead doors & remotes. A separate 24'x24' detached garage provides space for vehicles, equipment, hobbies or storage. Inside, the quality continues.

The kitchen features ample work space, stainless steel appliances, a center island/breakfast bar with sink & overhead pendant lighting. A spacious walk-in pantry, complete with floor-to-ceiling shelving, provides exceptional storage. The family room is anchored by a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone gas fireplace, while a large picture window frames the backyard & wooded acreage beyond. Throughout the home, the numerous generously sized windows bring natural light inside while keeping the surrounding landscape at the forefront. Comfort & functionality were clearly priorities in the home's design. Radiant in-floor heat runs throughout, there are no steps inside or outside & the 42" hallway & 36" doors provide exceptional accessibility. The utility room features insulated walls designed to reduce mechanical noise, while the third bedroom also has insulated walls to minimize sound transfer. Central air conditioning provides additional comfort. The spacious primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with a large window overlooking the backyard & woods, a generous walk-in closet with abundant hanging & shelf space & a private full bathroom featuring a jetted tub, separate walk-in marble shower, double-sink vanity & large window overlooking the property.
