Situated on 22 wooded acres with a private drive, flowing creek, and breathtaking views, this estate offers the perfect relaxing escape..

High ceilings, large windows, and an open design bring the outdoors in, flooding the home with natural light and offering panoramic vistas in every direction. The exterior is clad in concrete board, lending a sleek, low-maintenance finish that complements its woodland setting while echoing its modernist roots.
Lovingly restored in recent years, this home features a modern kitchen and updated bathrooms, along with an in-ground pool that offers sweeping views. It also includes the conveniences of public gas and water, eliminating the need for unsightly propane tanks and concerns about a well running dry. Enjoy contemporary comfort without sacrificing style or practicality.
Located just 7 minutes from Miami University, 3 minutes to Hueston Woods Golf Course, and 8 minutes from shopping and dining, this tranquil retreat offers privacy without isolation.
Additional features include:
A third-floor office, art studio, or writing nook—an inspiring space for creativity or reflection.
