Experience refined living at this one-of-a-kind private estate in the highly sought-after Live Oak School District This home offers the perfect blend of privacy, convenience, and natural beauty. Situated on 9 acres and accessed by a private bridge, the property is shaded by majestic, mature Live Oak trees, creating a peaceful, park-like setting just minutes from everyday amenities. Originally built in 1965, the home was extensively renovated in 2014, with the first floor taken down to the studs and rebuilt. Updates include mostly new electrical wiring, new hot and cold water plumbing, three HVAC units, new insulation and drywall, new flooring, and added structural beams to open the living space. The kitchen and bathrooms were fully redesigned, along with new plumbing and electrical fixtures, two water heaters, new windows, and new doors--offering modern comfort with timeless charm. After the 2016 flood, a 27kW liquid-cooled whole-home generator was installed for added security. Outdoor living is exceptional. In 2022, a 1,024 sq ft outdoor kitchen was added, featuring a grill, burners, ice maker, sink, and wood-burning fireplace. The space also includes a climate-controlled half bath and a "she shed" with cabinetry, sink, and room for a full-size fridge. A six-foot gas fire pit, new concrete, and full backyard irrigation enhance the setting. Master plan available for pool design. The property also features a garden framed with pine timbers and limestone rock, plus a landscape architect's master plan with a future pool site already equipped with gas service and electrical panels. The private bridge was completely rebuilt in 2023 with new steel runners, timber deck, and steel railings. This rare property offers luxury, comfort, and space to grow--perfect for entertaining or a private retreat. There is truly too much to list--schedule your showing today. Property is mapped in a flood zone but was removed via LOMA in 2014.
