Description

A rare opportunity to own a distinctive country estate where timeless craftsmanship, generous acreage, and exceptional potential come together. Set on 3 acres in a desirable location between Dixon, Sterling, and Polo, this impressive 5 bedroom, 3 and a half bath residence offers the space, character, and architectural foundation to become a truly remarkable private estate. From the moment you enter, the home's original craftsmanship makes an impression, with abundant original hardwood and details that give the property a warmth and authenticity that simply cannot be replicated. The expansive open kitchen features granite countertops and stainless steel refrigerator and dishwasher, creating a comfortable gathering space with the scale today's lifestyle demands. The first-floor laundry adds everyday convenience, while the downstairs bath is elevated by imported Italian marble flooring. The primary suite offers a private retreat with a spacious walk-in closet, luxurious Jacuzzi tub, separate shower, and walk-out balcony overlooking the grounds. With five bedrooms and multiple living spaces, the home provides exceptional flexibility for family, guests, entertaining, or creating dedicated office and hobby spaces. The west portion of the home was originally constructed, while the east portion was refurbished in 2011, resulting in an intriguing blend of original character and updated living space. A large detached 3-car garage provides substantial room for vehicles, equipment, recreational toys, a workshop, or the needs of an equestrian property. Outside, mature apple and pear trees complement the acreage and enhance the property's established country setting. Zoned AG1 and well suited for horses, the property offers the rare opportunity to enjoy a private rural lifestyle while remaining conveniently positioned between three communities. An additional 2 acres are available, providing the potential to expand the estate to an even more substantial homesite. For the discerning buyer, the opportunity here goes beyond what exists today. The architecture, acreage, setting, and scale provide an extraordinary canvas for someone with vision. Imagine adding your own architectural details, landscape design, equestrian amenities, entertaining spaces, or modern luxury finishes to create an estate that reflects your individual style. The groundwork is already in place, now it is ready for someone to make it exceptional.
