Rare doesn't begin to cover it. Nestled into nearly 2.3 acres of private, wooded hillside backing to the serene Cuba Marsh, this walk-out ranch, built in 2021, was designed with an artist's eye and constructed without compromise. A home where every decision was made with intention, and it shows in every room. At over 9,500 square feet, the scale is undeniable, but step inside and it just feels like home. This is a home you settle into, and honestly, one you have to see to fully understand. The finishes read less like a spec sheet and more like a collection: natural marble and quartzite surfaces throughout, Phillip Jeffries wallcoverings, Mirage hardwood floors, DaVinci fireplaces, and Fine Art lighting fixtures that feel curated rather than installed. Ceilings shift from coffered to double-tray to soaring cathedral heights, each transition deliberate, each space unmistakably its own. The kitchen is the kind you don't want to leave; two islands, custom Eggersmann European cabinetry, quartzite countertops, and a full suite of Miele and Sub-Zero appliances anchored by a dormer that floods the space with natural light. The kitchen features a reverse osmosis water filtration system. The south-facing walk-out lower level, accessible by elevator, offers extraordinary flexibility: in-law accommodations, office, gym, or all of the above. The indoor pool pavilion spans 85' 37' beneath a cedar cathedral ceiling, housing a 60' 17' saltwater inground pool with climate perfectly maintained by a Desert Aire dehumidification system, so every swim feels effortless, year round. The home theater delivers with a 135 Stewart screen, Sony projector, and 13 Bowers & Wilkins speakers is the kind of setup that makes staying in an easy choice. Practical details are handled with the same care: closed-cell high-efficiency insulation, whole-home radiant floor heating on all levels and in the garage, whole-house Generac generator, water filtration system, Lutron blackout shades, and Pella windows throughout. The 4-car garage includes an EV rough-in, ready for whatever you're driving next. A walk-up attic makes storage genuinely effortless. The elevator and no-rise primary shower make single-level living effortless, now or down the road. Outside, a screened porch and premium deck with horizontal stainless cable railings invite you to take in the landscape - wooded, private, and backed by the natural beauty of Cuba Marsh in every season. Minutes from country clubs, golf, top-rated schools, Metra, and major highways. Close to everything, felt by none of it. Some homes are built. This one was composed.
