Welcome to one of the most unique retreats in the heart of Metamora's Hunt County! A family-owned 80 acre parcel since the 1950's, this couple selected this particular 10 acre piece to build their dream home. Being in the build trades and creative artists, these owners painstakingly designed and built an exquisite European-style raised ranch embracing a symbiotic relationship to the forest, marsh and topography of this exceptional parcel. A private drive meanders through the woods to the residence past perennials, flowering trees and an organic garden. It was built in 1990 with very tight 2/6 construction, passive solar system incorporating black concrete flooring, 7/8" cement stucco exterior and a 3' roof overhang, and adding a lovely flat stone walkway to two entrances. Many updates were performed in the past five years, including a new well pump, two exterior doors and complementary stained glass windows flanking the foyer. More recently the eat-in kitchen was gifted new stainless steel appliances and a brand new water softener. The upper level enjoys massive windows that invite nature in, flooring in wood, cement, carpeting and ceramic tile, built in bookcase, galley kitchen and two large bedrooms with new bath in granite, lighting and mirrors. European influenced bathroom doors are accented with opaque glass. Kitchen cabinets were handmade in ash and mahogany and birch doors are in a satin finish. The second level is a large gathering room, bedroom and new bath as well. Lots of storage in two utility areas; one with boiler and electric panel, the other holds a large photographers sink and was used as a stained glass studio. Available security system and this location enjoys moderate Lapeer County taxes in the exceptional Oxford schools district. Welcome to your dream!
