Welcome to your own private escape nestled on 32.125 picturesque acres of rolling hills and woods all located just south of Brookville Lake. This exceptional mid-century home offers a Redwood clad exterior, 5 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, and 3,565 SF of living space and sweeping views from the wrap around deck. Designed in 1959 by two architects from Miami University known for their mid-century work and built by the respected Gillman Brothers. This original family homestead offers a rare combination of architectural design, natural beauty, and privacy. The interior of the home has been carefully preserved to maintain the original character that was so carefully designed. The upper level offers built-ins, Cherry finishes, original tile, plenty of entertaining space, and 2 main floor bedrooms. The lower level has 3 additional bedrooms, entertaining space, and direct access to the patio and back lawn. The property includes a detached 3-car garage, a horse stable with loft, two stalls, storage, beautiful gardens, swimming pond, and endless opportunities for outdoor recreation. The 32 acre landscape is enriched by mature trees including Oak, Maple, Poplar, Sycamore, Red Cedar, Conifers, Tulip, and Cypress, creating a stunning backdrop through every season. A true nature lover's paradise, the property was inspired and brought to life with the help of Jim Cope of the Cope Environmental Center and has been carefully cultivated to support local wildlife. Bird enthusiasts will appreciate the numerous feeders and eight Bluebird boxes, which have been monitored weekly for the past 23 years by the owners. Miami University students recently joined the ongoing conservation efforts on the property. An environmentally friendly water collection system captures and stores rainwater in the approx. 32,000 gallon cistern. The water is then triple filtered by brick, carbon, and UV before final use.
