SADDLE UP! Privately nestled on approximately 40 breathtaking acres, this extraordinary 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath, 3,298-square-foot custom equestrian estate, designed by renowned local architect Jay Reeves, combines architectural artistry, luxury and exceptional privacy. Completely secluded from the road and surrounded by mature hardwoods and majestic oaks, the home is filled with natural light. The dramatic great room features soaring 24-foot cypress ceilings, custom beams and a magnificent wood-burning fireplace crafted from hand-selected tan river rock with a locally made Red Oak mantle. Twelve-foot ceilings continue throughout the bedrooms and baths, while knotty alder doors, custom cherrywood cabinetry and millwork, sinker-cypress accents, granite surfaces and designer lighting showcase exceptional craftsmanship. The gourmet kitchen and cherrywood wet bar are designed for entertaining, with the kitchen overlooking a beautiful rear paddock. The primary retreat features a custom sinker-cypress wall, walk-in closet system and spa-inspired bath. Sonos sound, smart-home security, landscape lighting, fiber optics, automatic gated entry and a standby generator serving the home, barn and main well complete this thoughtfully designed estate. The Exceptional Equestrian Facilities: 17-stall barn with 12'x12' individually lit stalls, each with two electrical outlets and custom fan racks.

The property features 9 fenced paddocks, each with dedicated water and old-growth oaks for shade, plus 5 run-in sheds. Approximately 3 miles of private, predominantly shaded riding trails with eventing jumps provide the rare opportunity to ride and train without leaving the property. The impressive 176'x256' custom arena features clay-and-sand footing with dedicated irrigation to keep it jump-ready. A private 1-bedroom, 1-bath barn apartment with two entrances, spacious kitchen and laundry provides ideal accommodations for a trainer, caretaker or guests. Additional features include an RV/horse-trailer electrical outlet, two 90-gallon fuel tanks and extensive irrigation. Private, sophisticated and meticulously designed, this remarkable 40-acre estate offers an extraordinary opportunity to live, ride, train and entertain at home. WELLS & SEPTIC: The property is served by two wells. The farm well is an industrial 6-inch well installed by Freeman in 2018 under the supervision of a professional geologist. This well services the whole property. A separate residential well, located to the left of the main residence, was constructed in 2000 is the back up well. It can be run by a standalone generator if the main generator fails, it can be run by a switch on a panel on the south side of the house in case the big well needs servicing. The residence well has a pipe connecting to the barn so the barn also has water in case of something failing. The property also has two septic systems, which are serviced annually. The residence septic is located to the left of the home, while the barn septic is located behind the barn.
