Nestled at the very end of a private road on 10 +/- acres in Panther Ridge, this stunning gated estate offers rare seclusion and luxury on a beautifully wooded lot with a serene lake and fountain centerpiece. Completely reconstructed inside and out with virtually brand-new everything, metal roofs on both the main residence and the 12+ Car Collector’s garage, Hardy Board siding, hurricane-rated doors and windows, all-new electrical (whole-house rewired), an impressive AC system with new duct work and 2 high-capacity units, and all-new plumbing. The entire property is fully fenced and cross-fenced, showcasing mature oak and pine trees. A custom wrought-iron staircase and stunning reclaimed oak and mahogany flooring pair beautifully with barn wood trim and accents throughout. Shiplap walls, knotty-pine accents, and plantation shutters complete the home’s signature look of quiet luxury. The gourmet kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a 6-burner Wolf gas range, quartz countertops and exceptional storage. Quartz counters continue in all bathrooms. Downstairs offers 2 spacious bedrooms including one huge 20 x 20 room that easily functions as a second primary, plus a Jack & Jill bath. Upstairs you’ll find the primary suite with a private screened L-shaped composite balcony, luxurious spa bath, and 21 x 14 walk-in closet, plus 2 additional guest bedrooms and guest bath. Outside, an expansive screened wrap-around porch on the first floor connects seamlessly to a resort-style heated saltwater 36 x 18 lap pool and 10-person spa, covered summer kitchen, and dramatic 2-story outdoor fireplace — the ultimate year-round entertaining space. Additional features include a laundry/mud room, upgraded Safetouch security system with dedicated cameras and internet, and in the downstairs primary a sound system with KEF speakers. Not to be missed-the oversized concrete block 3½-car garage (35 x 29) with RV hookup and future safe-room potential. Also on the property is a custom 15x20 combination of an a/c doghouse with runs and a brand-new, never-used state-of-the-art chicken coop. The true showpiece is the 4,464 sq ft. air-conditioned Car Collector’s Dream Garage (72 x 62) with 12-ft vaulted knotty-pine ceilings, rare sinker cypress feature wall, blue-vein knotty pine faux porch, gunmetal accents, custom stained concrete floors, car lift, 3 garage and 4 roll up doors, and RV hookup.  Imagine stepping into the Car Collector’s Dream Garage and feeling like you’ve entered a private automotive resort. Climate-controlled year-round, the 4,464 sq ft space features soaring knotty-pine ceilings that make every vehicle look like a museum piece, a dramatic rare sinker cypress feature wall, a blue-vein knotty pine faux porch perfect for relaxing with fellow enthusiasts, sleek gunmetal accents, and showroom-perfect custom stained concrete floors that are easy to clean yet incredibly durable. A professional car lift, 7 doors for effortless loading of trucks, boats or trailers, abundant LED lighting, a dedicated tool room with extra studs for customization, a large storage area, and an outside RV hookup completes this dream setup.
