Rare opportunity to own a truly one of a kind custom home with a separate lot with utilities. Conveniently located just minutes off I-75, this exceptional property offers privacy, character, and breathtaking views. The home features impressive 2x12 ceiling rafters, soaring 23-foot ceilings in the main living area, and dramatic floor to ceiling windows that flood the space with natural light. Real hardwood flooring runs throughout, and the staircase is supported by a stunning solid ash log craned into place as a true architectural statement. Built with efficiency and security in mind, the home includes extra insulation and a reinforced safety bunker with 7-inch poured rebar concrete walls and 4-foot bulletproof doors. The indoor in-ground pool is heated by a buried, paid-for 500-gallon propane tank. Two mini bars and a beautiful kitchen with granite countertops make this home ideal for entertaining. The property itself is equally impressive: fully fenced with abundant wildlife, a private pond, irrigation system, pergola, and outdoor grilling area. There is an additional build-ready lot with existing utilities, multiple potential building sites, and possible logging opportunities. The possibilities are truly endless. A separate building includes 240V service. Pre-auction offers are encouraged, and buyers are advised to complete all due diligence prior to bidding. Don't miss this rare opportunity to schedule your private showing today and prepare to bid online!
