Step into "Wander," a sanctuary where the modern world fades into the sounds of a year-round flowing creek and the calls of resident Barred Owls. Set on 7 secluded, wooded acres, this home isn't just a place to sleep—it’s an experience. Whether you’re crossing your private bridge to arrive, grilling on the Blackstone under cafe lights, or hosting a tournament in the massive game room, every corner of this updated retreat was designed for connection and comfort.

The magic of Wander begins the moment you cross the private bridge and pull up to the wooded 7-acre estate. Inside, you’re greeted by an open-concept layout that feels both spacious and incredibly cozy. The kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring a large island with seating for four, small appliances for every need, and a dedicated coffee bar equipped with a K-cup/drip machine and French press—we even provide the coffee.

The living room serves as the heart of the home, centered around a warm electric fireplace and a 55" Smart TV. For those who need to check in with the office, a dedicated desk space sits bathed in natural light, powered by blazing 1Gb fiber internet.

The Primary Suite: Features soaring vaulted ceilings, a King bed, and a spa-like ensuite bathroom with a beautifully tiled walk-in shower.
Guest Bedroom 2: A peaceful retreat featuring a Queen bed and serene views of the front property.
Guest Bedroom 3: Designed for flexibility, this room features a Twin-over-Queen bunk bed—perfect for kids or extra adults.
Hallway Bath: A second full bathroom is conveniently located in the hall, featuring a tub/shower combination and fresh linens.

When it’s time to play, head to the massive Game Room featuring a pool table, ping pong, foosball, and a wet bar. For larger groups, the high-end Queen Murphy bed ensures a restful night's sleep. To maintain a "nature-first" atmosphere, this room intentionally features no window coverings, allowing you to wake up to a complete, unobstructed panoramic view of the wooded acreage and the morning sun filtering through the trees.

Outside, the back porch is the place to be. Flip on the cafe string lights, fire up the 4-burner Blackstone grill, and listen for the "Who cooks for you?" call of the resident Barred Owls. In the warmer months, the blooming pink azaleas transform the yard into a vibrant garden that leads you down to your 1,000 feet of private creek.

We'd be happy to host you!
