Drive down a private, tree-lined entrance off US Route 35 and arrive at a contemporary residence set deliberately on 15.87 wooded acres—where scale, utility, and comfort are all built to an elevated standard. This 6,632-square-foot home (2004) balances expansive living areas with highly functional service spaces: soaring ceilings, a vaulted sunroom, a studio loft with its own bath and balcony, plus a dedicated home office for remote work or concentrated projects. Multiple fireplaces anchor principal rooms and a series of large windows frame the surrounding treescape.
Entertain with ease: a backyard patio is appointed with a built-in gas grill and a traditional wood-burning oven, while the heated in-ground pool invites summer days with ample deck space and privacy. The property includes a heated greenhouse for year-round growing and a massive, climate-controlled pole barn suitable for hobbies, equipment storage, or light agricultural use. Practical touches such as a full finished basement with a kitchenette and a reinforced safe room add real-world value for multi-use living and storage.
The primary circulation of the house connects gracious public rooms to intimate private wings. A studio loft—ideal for guests, an artist’s retreat, or an in-law suite—offers a private balcony and bath. The sunroom’s vaulted ceiling gives an airy, open feeling without sacrificing warmth. Systems are robust: well water, septic, 200+ amp electrical service with generator provision, forced-air natural gas heating, and central air. A 3.5-car attached garage provides convenient vehicle and gear access to the basement.
Beyond the house itself, the land invites possibilities: hobby farming, equestrian pursuits, or simply preserving a private wooded setting. Pine Lake is roughly 2.5 miles away for boating and fishing, and downtown La Porte’s shops and services are about 3 miles from the driveway. With an assessed value that trails the market and recent valuation analysis placing competitive pricing between $1.25M–$1.35M, this estate presents a rare offering for buyers seeking privacy, flexible acreage, and turnkey amenities.
