An elegant, winding driveway surrounded by lush landscaping makes for a stunning first impression of this large country estate known as Emerald Glen.

The estate's home features more than 8,000 square feet of living space and includes such amenities as 4 suites, 6 total baths, smarthome system, a state-of-the-art kitchen, and a lower level that's conducive to relaxing or entertaining. Countless hours of detailing have resulted in a refined, yet comforting feeling of home. In the foyer, you are met with one of five inlaid medallions that graces the Brazilian cherry flooring; the barrel ceiling features extensive custom detailing and indirect lighting. The impressive living room delivers exquisite views of the rolling countryside and boasts a detailed natural-gas fireplace, a circular coffered ceiling, and four levels of crown molding. An expanse of windows bathe the kitchen in natural light. The space is defined by an oversized peninsula island, an oval concrete bar, and burlwood cabinets.

Tucked beside the kitchen is a butler's pantry with hand-painted tiles, a refrigerator, and dishwasher. An LG washer and dryer are also part of the space.The dining area offers stunning views of the portico and its beautiful surrounding. The portico includes a Viking grill built atop a spacious brick-and-slate island. An expansive half-circle Palladian window, stately columns, recessed lighting and built-in speakers add to the design of this amazing portico. The main floor hallway, which boasts a series of archways and layered crown molding, leads to a walnut-raised panel study with matching coffered 9-section walnut ceiling. Adjacent to the study is a guest suite with a detailed entry vestibule. The suite offers an extraordinary private bath with a hand-painted Kohler tub and a walk-in tile steam shower. Defining the meaning of elegance is the main bedroom suite that is distinguished by a rotunda entry, domed ceiling, and plaster medallion leading to the pear-wood dressing room. The bedroom features unprecedented detailing, including the 18-foot barrel ceiling and extensively layered crown molding. At the other end of the Brazilian cherry-wood hallway is a majestic bath retreat that is highlighted by a platform jetted tub and walk-in marble dual shower. A magnificent curved staircase leads up to two additional suites, each with ample closet space and a travertine marble bath. One suite boasts a center niche and a spacious sitting area with stately columns. Another curved staircase leads to the lower-level landing, which again echoes magnificence with its surrounding egg-and-dart crown molding and detailed wainscoting. Columns open up to an expansive family room with a gas fireplace and double French doors that open onto a grass quad. There is an adjoining reading room with custom ceiling panels and solid oak wainscoting. An adjacent play loft or gymnasium boasts recessed lights and faux bamboo flooring. A studio illuminated by designer track lighting features custom hardwood counters similar to the kitchen island. The lower level also provides access to the heated 3-car garage, where a laundry and pet bath are also found.Also gracing this monumental property is a 20x40 pool with a spa and waterfall, which are set to the backdrop of a stunning curved pergola.
