Welcome to this Private Esko Estate! Nestled on over 13 acres of tranquil woodlands and wild grasses, this stunning modern farmhouse harmoniously blends vintage charm with contemporary luxury. Originally built in the 1920s, the home’s Hand Sewn Horizontal Log structure was thoughtfully reconstructed in 1970 to include a full basement, kitchen, bathroom, and second floor. A comprehensive renovation began in 2009, adding a spacious 42x27-foot addition and a 38x28-foot barn-style garage. Many of the home’s design elements have been creatively repurposed, including wood and stone from the original sheep barn, which was once a thriving part of this property’s rich history. Step inside from the expansive wraparound deck to discover a bright, open-concept main floor with soaring vaulted ceilings, beautifully refinished hardwood floors, exposed beams, and an open staircase that leads to the upper level. The showstopper is the gorgeous wood-burning soapstone fireplace, perfect for cozy evenings. The country-style kitchen, which also boasts a charming stone fireplace, features a professional gas range, a cozy eat-in table, ample cupboard and counter space, and plenty of room for a large dining table. The kitchen is bathed in natural light thanks to abundant windows that overlook the surrounding scenery. For entertaining, the generous private dining area is ready to host gatherings, with sliding doors leading to a spacious patio area that’s ideal for outdoor living. Upstairs, you’ll find all but one of the bedrooms, along with a convenient laundry closet. The primary bedroom suite offers an office, walk-in closet, and stunning two-sided gas fireplace that separates the bedroom from a luxurious spa-like bath. This opulent bath features double sinks, a large walk-in shower, and a deep soaker tub—perfect for relaxing after a long day. The lower level of the home offers a private guest bedroom, two spacious bathrooms, a rec room, exercise room, utility room with tankless water heater, and convenient access to the serene backyard. Outside, the picturesque grounds are a true sanctuary, offering a wealth of possibilities. The property includes several outbuildings: a three+ car garage with second-level storage, three additional storage sheds, and a charming playhouse. Additional highlights include energy-efficient spray foam insulation and in-floor heating, ensuring comfort and efficiency year-round. The home is being offered with furnishings negotiable to suit your needs. Schedule a Private Showing
