Designed for both grand-scale entertaining and everyday enjoyment, the property offers an unmatched connection to the outdoors. Spend your days boating, waterskiing, fishing, kayaking, and paddleboarding on the private waters of Lake Greenfield, then unwind along your expansive shoreline while taking in spectacular sunset views. Beautifully landscaped grounds, winding trails, private koi pond, and thoughtfully designed outdoor gathering spaces create a setting that feels worlds away from the ordinary. The custom brick and stone ranch showcases quality craftsmanship and upscale finishes throughout.

Luxury details, custom finishes, and timeless design elements are found throughout the home, creating an atmosphere that is both elegant and inviting. The primary suite serves as a peaceful private retreat, while a dedicated home office provides the ideal workspace and optional bedroom if needed. A stunning three-season room offers panoramic views and a comfortable place to relax throughout much of the year. The finished walkout lower level extends the home’s living space with a large family and recreation area, two additional bedrooms with private ensuite bathrooms, and direct access to a covered outdoor entertaining space complete with a hot tub overlooking the grounds. Beyond the residence, an impressive outbuilding offers exceptional flexibility for hobbyists, collectors, business operations, workshop space, or additional storage.
