***SIGNIFICANT PRICE IMPROVEMENT!! Welcome to a truly one-of-a-kind boutique equestrian estate where luxury, privacy, and thoughtful design come together in perfect harmony. A fenced pasture lines the private drive, creating a picturesque approach to this meticulously renovated modern farmhouse nestled among mature trees and surrounded by beautiful new landscaping and freshly laid sod. Originally purchased in 2022 and extensively reimagined from top to bottom, virtually every inch of this remarkable property has been upgraded, enhanced, or completely renovated. Upon entering the property, you’re greeted by a charming 1800s log cabin complete with traditional chinking and lush landscaping—an idyllic setting for a she shed, artist studio, office, or private retreat. Inside the home, soaring vaulted ceilings, heated living room floors, abundant natural light, and exceptional craftsmanship create a warm yet sophisticated atmosphere. The chef’s kitchen is truly the heart of the home, featuring a premium Thor six-burner gas range, massive waterfall-edge granite island, custom cabinetry with pull-out storage, and convenient built-in electrical outlets hidden inside cabinets for small appliances. The kitchen seamlessly flows into the expansive great room where soaring ceilings and a stunning fireplace create the perfect gathering space. A separate dining room showcases an elegant tray ceiling and dazzling designer lighting fixture. The luxurious main-level owner’s suite offers a private retreat with its own fireplace, dual walk-in closets, and a spa-inspired bath featuring a Ferguson soaking tub, Bluetooth-enabled smart mirror, Toto bidet, and premium finishes. Every bathroom throughout the home is appointed with smart mirrors and Toto bidets, blending modern convenience with upscale comfort. Designed for effortless indoor-outdoor living, a dramatic tri-fold accordion patio door opens completely to the newly constructed patio, creating seamless entertaining space. The level backyard offers ample room for a future pool and outdoor oasis. The property’s extensive improvements include a new roof with 50-year architectural shingles, rebuilt front porch and rear deck, new HVAC systems and air handlers, tankless whole-house water heater, 500-gallon propane tank, all new exterior doors, Wi-Fi-enabled lighting, electrical upgrades throughout, a replaced water line from the road with accessible repair sections, and a new asphalt parking pad in front of the garage. Equestrian enthusiasts will appreciate the two-stall center aisle barn complete with tack room, feed room, and riding arena. Additional outbuildings include a custom mini farmhouse chicken coop, dog run, and an absolutely adorable renovated miniature farmhouse-style dog house featuring its own custom Dutch door. Ideally located in booming North Forsyth, just minutes from shopping, dining, schools, and only 2 miles from the new Matt Community Center, this extraordinary estate offers the perfect balance of convenience and complete privacy. A reservoir is also just a stone’s throw away - only a 2-minute walk down the quiet street- for fabulous fishing practically in your backyard. This is more than a home—it’s a fully curated lifestyle property unlike anything else on the market.
