Property Description
Tucked away at the end of a winding 1/2 mile private driveway, this custom built estate offers a level of privacy that is becoming increasingly difficult to find.Situated on 40 picturesque acres, the property combines luxury living, recreational opportunity, and complete seclusion into one remarkable offering.
Built by Amwood Homes in 2011, the residence was thoughtfully designed with quality and longevity in mind. Inside, you'll find over 3,300 square feet of finished living space featuring hickory hardwood floors, solid maple cabinetry and trim, granite countertops, nine-foot ceilings on both levels, and a stunning stone fireplace that serves as the focal point of the main living area.
The open-concept floor plan was built for both everyday comfort and entertaining. Large Anderson windows and oversized patio doors invite natural light while framing peaceful views of the surrounding timber and wildlife. Two main-level primary suites provide flexibility for owners and guests alike, while the finished walkout lower level offers additional living space, recreation areas, and room for family and friends.
Step outside and the property truly begins to shine.
The spring-fed pond, mature hardwood timber, established fruit trees, and abundant wildlife create an environment that feels more like a private nature preserve than a residential property. Spend your evenings on the composite deck overlooking the countryside, explore the timber in search of morel mushrooms, or simply enjoy the peace and quiet that comes from owning a property with virtually no visible neighbors.
For those needing additional space, the heated 40'x60' shop provides exceptional storage for vehicles, equipment, hobbies, or recreational toys. Combined with the heated attached garage, the property offers functionality rarely found in luxury rural homes.
Adding to the appeal is a solar energy system with net metering, helping keep utility costs remarkably low while providing long-term efficiency and sustainability.
Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, private family retreat, executive getaway, or legacy property to be enjoyed for generations, 9496 S. Hanover Hill Road delivers a rare combination of quality construction, natural beauty, privacy, and lifestyle.
