Country roads, take me home… preferably to 18 private acres with deer in the yard, a creek running through the woods + not a single neighbor in sight ;) Welcome to this custom built 5 bed, 4 bath Hillsboro retreat, where luxury finishes and wide-open skies somehow coexist perfectly. Built just four years ago + expanded since with additional beds and baths, this home feels like the kind of place people dream about leaving the hustle + bustle of the city for. The winding private road, stamped concrete walkway, moody exterior + soaring rooflines immediately set the tone. And while the curb appeal is incredible… there’s technically no curb here to appeal from ;) Inside, blonde hardwood stretches throughout the open floor plan while oversized windows pull the outdoors into every corner of the home. The dramatic floor-to-ceiling black stone fireplace anchors the family room beautifully + practically demands an oversized sectional, Christmas tree + someone yelling “whose turn is it to grab firewood” from the couch. The kitchen is equal parts functional + beautiful with black granite countertops, white cabinetry, brushed gold hardware, oversized island seating, stainless appliances + a walk-in pantry with enough storage to survive both Costco runs and your “maybe we should start canning vegetables” era. Nearby dining space opens directly onto the covered stamped concrete patio where a ceiling fan spins overhead, the natural stone waterfall pond bubbles nearby + frogs provide what might honestly be better background noise than Spotify (which btw, you can easily use if preferred - the property is equipped with internet access via Starlink satellite). The primary suite feels like a private resort tucked into the woods with a wood-paneled tray ceiling, private deck access, hot tub, oversized walk-in closet + a spa-worthy bath featuring a massive vanity, marble-look shower, rainfall shower head, detachable shower head + enough counter space for every skincare product social media convinced you to buy ;) Four additional bedrooms offer endless flexibility for guests, kiddos, offices, workout spaces or hobbies. Outside is where this property really starts showing off. Trails weave throughout the acreage for hiking, biking or four-wheeling. A creek with cascading limestone waterfalls comes alive in the springtime and wildlife is everywhere. The basketball court doubles as overflow parking for gatherings, the heated 3-car garage has room for every outdoor toy imaginable, and the privacy is unmatched. Add in the water softener + filtration system, gardens, storage galore, and neighbors close enough to look out for one another, but far enough away that you’ll never actually see them. Country roads really *did* take us home on this one. Cheers!
