The guest house includes three ensuite bedrooms, a full kitchen, half bath, and two-car garage, while the private cottage provides a bedroom, bath, kitchenette, and laundry ideal for staff, wellness, music studio, or a secluded retreat.

Outdoor living mirrors a private resort, with expansive manicured lawns made for entertaining or quiet relaxation, a heated saltwater pool, pavilion, gazebo and family friendly amenities including a zip line and swings for little ones. Two fully fenced dog parks provide safe play areas for furry family members. Wellness offerings extend indoors with a resistance pool, spa, and steam shower for year-round enjoyment.

The air conditioned car barn is a standout feature, offering 20ft ceilings, office suite, kitchenette, half bath, and capacity for ten or more vehicles, complemented by a covered RV bay with water and electric hookups, flexible event space, and helicopter pad. Recent upgrades ensure the estate is turnkey and built for long-term ownership, including fiber-optic gigabit internet, five new generators, sixteen new HVAC systems, three new water heaters, new roofs on the guest house, cottage, and car barn, and a newly screened front porch.
