This exceptional modern barndominium combines the strength and durability of steel-frame construction with beautifully finished, high-end living space. Approximately one-third of the building is dedicated to the residence, offering more than 3,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed interior space. The remaining two-thirds is an incredible shop and garage area featuring an oversized door tall enough to accommodate nearly anything (RVs, boats, classic cars, motorcycle, or you name it!) The shop is equally impressive for entertaining, complete with a long custom bar and plenty of room to gather with friends and family. Just outside, the front porch opens to an inviting outdoor living area. Relax with a fire in the front circle fire pit, take a soak in the hot tub, or have a schvitz in the custom-built sauna. On the south side of the building, you’ll find even more amenities, including a storm shelter, basketball court, and RV pad. The real adventure begins across the 38.71-acre property. With endless opportunities to explore, this land features six named trails winding through it. Be sure to review the trail map to see where they lead. Two ponds add to the setting: one located near the home, and a second, smaller pond to the north that can be reached via the Main Loop Trail or Bobwhite Trail. While you’re there, take a moment to enjoy the oversized swing overlooking the peaceful surroundings. Wildlife is abundant throughout the property, with trail cameras frequently capturing deer, turkeys, and other native animals. All of this is set in the serene countryside of Jefferson County, just minutes from Lake Perry. Conveniently located only 4.6 miles from Rock Creek Marina & Resort, 5.5 miles from Perry State Park, 3.9 miles from Lake Perry Country Club, and 3.2 miles from Village Greens Golf Course, this one-of-a-kind property offers the perfect blend of recreation, privacy, and luxury.
