Absolutely breathtaking estate - from the mostly wooded grounds to the custom brick and stone home perched high above the valley surrounded by 41.53 +/- acres with a gated driveway and a detached 4-bay garage with an 1,800 +/- SF overhead guest apartment. Coveted privacy and serenity abound, and it feels like you are worlds away, yet you are only 25 minutes from downtown Chattanooga. This spacious home was truly built for gathering and entertaining with multiple outdoor living spaces, and no detail was overlooked, including the quality finishes, wonderful built-in features, specialty ceilings, tall doors, crown moldings, arched windows with plantation shutters, beautiful hardwoods and tile, granite and stone countertops, multiple walk-in closets, a generator, new roof on both the main house and garage in 2025, and more. The floor plan offers something for everyone with both formal and informal and indoor and outdoor living spaces. The main level boasts a grand foyer with solid arched wood doors that open from a lovely vestibule. The foyer leads to the dining room with butler's pantry, a comfortable family room, a gourmet kitchen open to the breakfast area with granite countertops, Thermador convection ovens and gas cooktop with copper backsplash, soft close cabinetry with pull-out drawers, a Subzero cabinet style refrigerator and freezer, raised dining bar and access to a grilling patio and the covered balcony with a fireplace and views of the back yard and woods. The hallway off the kitchen features a powder room, access to the daylight basement, a mud room with built-in cabinetry and ''lockers'', a spacious laundry room, a handsome office, and a side door to the breezeway to the double carport. The primary suite is off of the family room and has a private balcony, a sitting area and two primary baths - both with walk-in closets, and one with a jetted tub and the other with a tiled shower. There is also a 2nd powder room in the foyer. The upper level has 2 bedrooms adjoined by a shared bath with an elongated double vanity, commode, urinal and center tiled shower, while 2 additional bedrooms have private baths. The 5th bedroom also has a shared bath with access to a nice media room. The 3rd level has a bonus room with a skylight and ceiling mural that makes a great den.
