magnificent 24-acre English country estate
Set on 24 scenic acres of sweeping lawns and woodlands with three stocked fishponds, this magnificent English country estate, reimagined by renowned Cleveland architect Anthony Paskevich, offers an unparalleled living experience. A long, illuminated drive winds past original farmhouse and barn complex, leading through a tree-lined allee flanked by stunning gardens to the impressive main residence. A turreted entrance welcomes guests. The stone and clapboard exterior gives way to magnificent millwork, vaulted ceilings, arched doorways, oversized windows, and carefully selected stone and wood flooring. Designed for everyday living and grand entertaining, the generously sized gathering areas include a great room, formal dining room, family room, and solarium, all with fireplaces. A tranquil haven, the primary bedroom suite has dual baths and four additional suites incl. private baths. Enclosed by walls of glass, a spectacular pool pavilion opens to a stone patio overlooking breathtaking scenery and the exercise room, including sauna and steam room, epitomizes luxury and relaxation with a view. Approached by a brick courtyard, the custom-built, 1-bedroom guesthouse has an expansive brick terrace with geothermal heat, a fireplace and outdoor kitchen & pizza oven. With the richness and warmth of stone, brick, and wood, the bar room on the walk-out lower level exudes the charm of a traditional Scottish pub. The two-car garage has an additional one bedroom, one bath guest suite on its upper level. Original farmhouse and one-room schoolhouse, moved to the property in the 1930s, are fully updated with modern amenities. The farmhouse has three bedrooms, 1.5 baths, wraparound porch, air conditioning and whole-house generator. The estate also has a fully restored, authentic barn complex - four frame buildings connected by a covered walkway: barn with four stalls and hayloft, greenhouse/studio, and detached two-car and four-car garages. Open fenced pastures with loafing sheds have ample space for horses, alpacas, or sheep to graze freely.
