Once in a lifetime is often misused but this is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity to own an extraordinary gated estate. A residence unlike any other on market. No expense was spared on renovations for this architecturally distinctive custom crafted home, with premium rarely found materials and remarkable craftsmanship. Unbelievable hardscape including several thousand square feet of pavers and Tennessee Bluestone. The grounds also include expansive terraced areas of river rock. Offering 5,000sqft of living space on a serene 1.25 acre lot with pond in the highly desirable Riverside community, the house was basically rebuilt as a new home over the last 7 years. This represents a rare opportunity to own an extraordinary home at a fraction of its replacement cost
