These one-of-a-kind homes include ranch, 1.5-story, and 2-story styles that range from 4,500-9,800 square feet with 4-8 bedrooms and 3.5-6.5 bathrooms.
Inside, these exquisite homes are loaded with premium finishes and elegant details including open floorplans, hardwood flooring, custom architectural millwork, solid-core doors, heated floors, zoned temperature control, custom ceilings, dramatic two-story foyers with open staircases, mudrooms with benches and storage, and large laundry rooms with utility tubs and cabinets, formal dining rooms with butler’s pantry, formal living rooms and/or private dens with built-ins, and two-story/vaulted great rooms with fireplaces and floor-to-ceiling windows that open to large kitchens featuring expansive quartz or granite countertops, tile backsplash, breakfast bar, walk-in pantry, top-of-the-line appliances, beverage bar/buffet, dinette area, and morning room or sunroom. First or second-floor owner’s suites include sitting areas, large walk-in closets with built-ins, and spa-like baths with custom tiled walk-in showers, soaking tubs, dual sinks/vanities, and enclosed commodes. Finished lower levels (many are coveted walk-outs!) are complete with media or theater rooms, kitchens/kitchenettes, bars, wine cellars, and exercise rooms. Winding or circular drives lead to side-entry garages that accommodate 3-4 cars. Some also have an additional detached garage/carriage house.
Homes have well water and septic systems.

Homesites range from 2.0 to 15.34 acres. The average lot size is approximately 4 acres.
Most lots are heavily wooded, whereby homes may be completely enveloped by forest, offering the ultimate in natural privacy.
Homes are constructed at varying elevations between 900′-1005′.
Homes at higher elevations offer magnificent panoramic views overlooking Hinckley Valley.
Some properties feature private ponds, offering tranquil water vistas and on-site paddleboarding.
