Exceptional Country Estate spanning 12.63+/- acres in Dorset Orchard showcasing lovely mountain views that capture the imagination. The sweeping driveway flows through the thoughtfully landscaped grounds with split-rail fencing and leads to a five bedroom, five bath Contemporary home with two-car barn-style garage. Dramatic, exposed beams, an impressive stone fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows with views of Mount Aeolus and Owl’s Head enhance the open living/dining area and galley kitchen. The pastoral views invite you to "rock" and renew the spirit on the wrap around covered decks, with an awning extension on the West side. The expanded en suite primary bedroom features a full bath, whirlpool tub, indoor swim spa, workout room and private balcony. The spacious lower level surprises with a billiard room, a large playroom/tv area, three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a private entrance. The garden area with 13 raised beds for blueberries, herbs and veggies is steps away from the enchanting garden office. Nearby, a small barn and garden shed offer great storage and there is even a playhouse for the kids! The artfully sited two-bedroom guest house with fireplace, sunroom and two-car garage is perfect for additional guests or caretaker/investment use. Just one mile to the picturesque Dorset village.
