Presenting this rare opportunity to live at the top of Oak Hill Drive in a custom built retreat. Just three miles from town, this peaceful private setting offers an abundance of wildlife. On any given day you might see eagles, turkeys, quail, deer as well as the seasonal migration of elk across Seven Mile. The spectacular views look like a watercolor painting of vineyards with a vintage barn nestled in the hills.
This property is adjacent to the Chenowith Tablelands, approximately 330 acres accessible for biking, hiking and horseback riding though seldom used. The sellers have spent many hours exploring the area without another soul in sight, finding a seasonal waterfall as well as an abundance of wildflowers including Lupine, Balsamroot, cornflowers, and buttercups.
The sellers built this home for themselves and stepped up the quality of the materials to meet their standards.
For instance, the sub floor is 1 1/8" thick, interior doors are 36 inches wide, the stairway is wide and easy to navigate. A dumbwaiter was installed in the kitchen so groceries or supplies could be lifted from the basement without carrying up the nice wide staircase. The ICF (Insulated Concrete Forms) construction in the basement makes for a quiet and energy efficient environment.
The home is a labor of love and it shows!
The L shaped footprint of the home sets up a perfect protected space for entertaining on the large stamped concrete patio with multiple access points into the house.
The spacious and efficient kitchen has lots of counter space, easy reach drawers and lit glass front cabinets.
There are many custom features in the kitchen and pleasant surprises when you open the doors and drawers.
Some other nice features include a pot filler plumbed over the glass top range, black porcelain tile backsplash, custom hood vent matching cabinetry, quartz counters (two colors), Kohler farm kitchen sink, Rev-a-shelf pull outs for convenience to reach the back corners with motion lights.
The dishwasher is disguised, this Miele dishwasher has a decorative front matching the cabinets.
There is an L shaped counter bar making a nice space to visit with the cook or gathering for a quick snack.
Classy pendant lighting over the bar adds a nice decorative touch.
The nine foot ceilings and lovely wide crown molding adds to the elegance of this modern farmhouse.
The great room makes it easy to enjoy the view of the hills across the valley through the wall of windows.
There is deck access from the great room and the composite deck wraps all the way around the front of the house to the primary suite.
The primary suite has a full view door for deck access, the double closets have cute boutique like closet organizers. Enter the ensuite bath through the frosted pane-glass pocket door. Tile and quartz surround the jetted tub with an elegant detailed lit niche for bath oils and an inline heater to keep the water warm without the need to add more water. There is a romantic chandelier hanging above. The picture window brings in natural light and the views are spectacular. There are porcelain tile floors, a beautiful tile shower with multiple body jets and a custom leaded transom light that allows natural light into the shower. The double sink vanity with a quartz counter adds to this luxurious space.
The guest bathroom is also a lovely space with a cast iron tub, subway tile surround, tile floor and marble top sink vanity.
Two guest bedrooms, one with quality wall to wall carpet and lots of natural light looking out to the spacious patio. The other is currently used as an office but is intended as a bedroom. This room has a beautiful leaded glass door to the patio.
The den at the top of the staircase and close to the front door is the perfect place for relaxing in front of the TV. There is a generous size laundry room off the den with lots of counter space and storage.
The new owner will have the opportunity to finish the basement any way they desire. The nine foot ceiling allows for optimum lighting options. There is a double full view door that opens to the view side of the home as well as two windows facing the view. With the plumbing in place for a kitchen sink on one side of the basement and a full bathroom with a barrier free shower pan centrally located this space could lend itself to multi generational living, if the buyer desires to make those improvements.
There is plenty of room for equipment/machinery and/or RV parking. There is even a covered space off of the shop/ultimate man cave/she shed. This shop measures approximately 30 x 67 feet with approximately 900 square feet of finished space and has all the amenities for any hobby or craft you may wish to create. Most recently used as the "canning kitchen", this space is heated and insulated. There is a woodstove and sliding door to the side yard, close to the fenced (for the deer) garden space. The "shop/hobby house" has many outdoor storage sheds as well as a carport conveniently located at the front door. There is a portion of this shop reserved for indoor parking of equipment or projects that need protection from the elements.
Across the driveway and through the field is a sweet retreat from technology. Created as a "playhouse for the youngsters" but the possibilities are endless. Escape to this cabin to unplug, reset, meditate, create art or whatever suits your needs. Further across the field find a tree house (also used as a hunting stand).
The owners have manicured and maintained this park-like setting that features a seasonal creek.
Currently Oak Hill Drive is privately maintained, one of the neighbors has the equipment to plow the snow or grade the road if needed, then the property owners chip in to help with materials.
