Tucked behind a private gated entrance on over an acre, this custom built Paul Witt estate unfolds as a true retreat where craftsmanship, scale, and design come together effortlessly. As you arrive, the sense of privacy is immediate, with mature landscaping and fruit trees surrounding the property, while expansive RV parking and a four-car garage offer both convenience and capability. When you step inside the home truly begins to reveal itself. Soaring vaulted ceilings with exposed wood beams draw your eyes upward, while natural light pours through, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The main living space is anchored by a dramatic floor-to-ceiling fireplace, giving the room both presence and comfort—an ideal setting for quiet evenings or hosting on a grand scale. The kitchen was designed for both everyday living and elevated entertaining. At its center, an oversized island with bar seating invites gathering, while dual sinks—including a prep sink—allow for seamless functionality. Outfitted with two dishwashers, double ovens, a gas-burning stove, a built-in ice maker, and a generously sized walk-in pantry, the space caters effortlessly to both intimate dinners and large-scale hosting. Just beyond, the formal dining room offers a refined setting for more curated occasions. Moving through the home, you’ll find five well-appointed bedrooms and five bathrooms, each designed to provide comfort and privacy. A dedicated office creates the perfect environment for focused work, while a built-in central vacuum system adds everyday convenience. The laundry room—complete with ample counter space, storage, and hanging racks—further enhances functionality without sacrificing style. The primary suite serves as its own private retreat, complete with a secluded patio that opens to the backyard—offering a quiet place to start or end the day. Outdoors, the experience continues. A resort-style pool with an integrated spa and three cascading waterfalls becomes the focal point, complemented by a 600-square-foot built-in gazebo ideal for entertaining or relaxing in the shade. A dedicated sauna and wellness room elevate the home further, creating a space designed not just for living, but for restoration. Completing the property are 96 owned solar panels, offering long-term efficiency without compromising luxury. Every element has been carefully considered—from its expansive layout to its private setting—creating an estate that feels both elevated and deeply livable.
