About this home
Welcome to your dream home--an extraordinary custom-built estate by Exeter Building Company, perfectly nestled on 3.99 acres of pristine, wooded landscape. Located in the ultra-exclusive Watkins Glen Private Estates, this is one of only ten limited opportunities to own in this distinguished enclave. A privately gated entrance and long, winding drive lead you through mature hardwoods to a stunning Tudor-style architectural masterpiece that blends timeless elegance with modern luxury. Designed to harmonize with its natural surroundings, the home features soaring ceilings, expansive windows, and thoughtfully placed doors that frame breathtaking views from every angle. Inside, the layout offers remarkable flexibility and flow, with two primary suites--one on each level--ideal for multi-generational living or accommodating guests in style. The main floor also includes a guest suite and a vaulted study, while the upper level hosts two additional bedrooms, a second primary suite, and a dedicated yoga or exercise studio. Ten-foot ceilings throughout both floors enhance the sense of volume and light, while an elevator provides seamless access between levels. This home is packed with luxurious amenities, including a conditioned wine room for the avid collector, a rec room complete with an immersive theater system, and a screened porch outfitted with a built-in grilling station for year-round entertaining. Outdoors, the private backyard is a true retreat, featuring a resort-style pool and spa with a raised wall and dramatic fire bowls. Every detail has been curated for a lifestyle of sophistication, comfort, and privacy--this is luxury living at its finest. This plan is a potential option, but open to client adaptations or selection/design of another plan.
