Welcome to a one-of-a-kind Tuscan-inspired estate in Chesapeake’s coveted Woodards Mill, a private four-acre sanctuary where luxury and resort-style living meet. Offered at $1,750,000, this property stands in a class of its own. The home features 7 bedrooms and 6 baths, including two primary suites great for multi-generational living, and a 7th bedroom currently serving as a media room. The exterior transports you with koi ponds lining the entry, complete with their own pump house, one even stocked with bass. Outdoor living is exceptional: a massive covered BBQ pavilion for gatherings, a resort-style pool with waterslide, and a lighted sports field ready for soccer, basketball, pickleball, or custom courts, and a batting cage. A private gym with sauna adds to the experience, and guests will love the independent two-bedroom guest house with full kitchen, living room with fireplace, laundry, and full bath.
