This is what modern luxury feels like. Reimagine the most idyllic West Michigan getaway. Discover a unique opportunity along roads less traveled. Savor the tranquility and privacy of rural living. Surround yourself with timeless style and uncompromised craftsmanship. Reconnect with nature and explore boundless possibilities. Come live your best life in Tabor Hill wine country just ninety miles from Chicago, thirty-five minutes from South Bend, twenty minutes to Lake Michigan and a split second away from you making one of the best decisions of your life. It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting. ~Paulo Coelho. Known as Serenity Fields, a picturesque woodland backdrop and 68 stunningly beautiful verdant acres set the stage for this brilliantly designed, lavishly appointed masterpiece featuring eight bedrooms, eight bathrooms, over 8500 finished sq ft of living space, an 18,000+ sq ft spring-fed pond, multiple terraces and a breathtaking veranda to elevate your outdoor enjoyment, 36+ acres for agriculture development, the potential for a helipad, and the potential for so much more...<br />
<br />
A lush, densely wooded entrance featuring the property's moniker is enigmatically inviting and hints at the sophistication and lifestyle that patiently waits for your arrival. Her sensuously serpentine drive culminates in a breath-taking reveal that offers the first taste of what falling in love at first sight feels like, and the captivating intrigue that arouses your senses when you first embrace is the resonating epiphany you've had all along... This... is it. This is home. <br />
<br />
Serenity Fields stands for modern luxury and refined craftsmanship. It represents a nature lovers' paradise. It represents the manifestation of boundless possibilities waiting to be unveiled. <br />
<br />
A bespoke Mahogany leaded glass door opens the way to an experience and life that is indubitably spectacular in every way. A soaring 21' cathedral ceiling in the foyer is adorned with an opulent Schonbek Swarovski crystal chandelier, and an 18' ceiling combined with a floor to ceiling wall of glass in the great room provides volume and grandeur and an abundance of natural light which allows the sophisticated depth of richly toned custom cherry built-ins and cherry hardwood floors to express themselves unabashedly. <br />
<br />
But as you step into the heart of this luxurious estate, your eyes are irresistibly drawn to the graceful curves of the grand staircase. Its elegant sweep, like the soft unfurling of a silk ribbon, guides you upward with effortless charm and downward with mysterious anticipation. Each step, clad in polished cherry hardwood and plush carpet and kissed by ambient light, offers a promise of discovery as it spirals toward your next destination. The decorative wrought iron and cherry balustrade is intricate and timeless. This staircase is more than a passage, it's an invitation to transcend into a world of beauty and refinement.<br />
<br />
The kitchen stands out as one of the home's most impressive features. Combining functionality with elegance, it's as much a culinary inspiration as it is a social hub. This coveted open floor plan graciously shares space and purpose with the formal/informal dining area and the great room to ensure that connectedness and memories remain at the center of social affairs and intimate gatherings. Featuring custom cherry cabinetry with pull-out shelves, high-end granite countertops, a custom backsplash with curated glass tile inlay, a decorative lighted alcove, bespoke metal artwork, an abundance of storage and counterspace... this kitchen is perfectly splendid and designed to accommodate culinary enthusiasts of every skill level.<br />
<br />
Living up to a name frequently used too loosely, this is a true 'chef's kitchen': Large spaces, an open-floor plan, good traffic flow, plenty of room for multiple cooks to prepare food comfortably without feeling crowded, a hidden pantry with third oven, a generous island, separate prep and clean-up areas, top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances including a commercial grade 70" double refrigerator/freezer and a classic, commercial style, professional, dual-fuel, duel-oven, 8-burner gas range, two dishwashers, a 1200 CFM Fantech updraft exhaust fan with dampener to manage cooking odors--this is truly the definition of a chef's kitchen.<br />
<br />
Offering a serene and luxurious space to unwind and relax, the primary suite is a standout. Featuring a double tray ceiling with glowing ambient recessed lighting, a raised gas fireplace that makes it possible to enjoy dancing flames while still snuggled in bed, stunning meadow views, a morning kitchen, a private terrace to enjoy sunrises and to relax in the Jacuzzi hot tub under moonlight, and a spa-like bathroom with a deep jetted soaker tub and a spacious six-zone marble shower--this is an owners' suite quite thoughtfully designed for enjoyment. And if that wasn't enough, you'll appreciate one of the most impressive, spacious and organized wardrobes I have seen: Custom cherry built-in armoires and dresser, a Sax Fifth Avenue style organization system for hanging clothes and a designer shoe locker that makes creative use of the curvaceous wall-this is the synthesis of style and functionality.<br />
<br />
Custom cherry built-ins, a stunning coffered ceiling, custom drapery and a distractingly beautiful pond view will make this home office a true favourite for anyone working from home or bringing work home. <br />
<br />
One of the most enduring features of this home is the radiant heated floors throughout the main and lower levels. Providing toasty toes on cooler days and nights, this is an immensely desirable feature that you'll certainly appreciate and is just one more example of the level of detail, comfort and sophistication this home provides.<br />
<br />
While the top floor and its two bedroom en-suites and loft/study is fully intended for quite repose, it's the lower level that's going to be your perfect getaway when you're looking for a place to let loose, watch a movie, entertain... With the third full kitchen, billiards room, family room, two mechanical/storage rooms... there's definitely more going on here than just the three additional bedrooms and two bathrooms. With decorative heated concrete floors and acoustic ceiling tiles to help absorb sound, the lower level provides a comfortable, designer living space that may have unintended consequences: kids and guests might stay longer than anticipated.<br />
<br />
Multiple terraces, including the incredibly intimate veranda, provide sundry relaxing and entertaining options for every occasion and for every person. With a dramatic vaulted ceiling highlighted by skylights, ceiling fans, recessed lighting and white Grecian columns, this outdoor living space off the kitchen and dining room provides a truly sentient experience. Knowing that someone someday may very well want an outdoor kitchen, owners installed hot and cold water lines, a drain line and a gas line to make that possible. The veranda is the perfect spot for summer gatherings and soirees, any-time barbeques and lazy, quiet days sleeping in the hammock or reading a book.<br />
<br />
Seamlessly connected and just a few steps away through the porte cochère, the carriage house reflects an unassuming casual sophistication, maintains a sense of unity, and serves as a natural extension of the main home living space. Providing two additional bedrooms and bathrooms, a full kitchen with custom cherry cabinetry, granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances, a generous dining area, a comfortable living room with electric fireplace, a convenient laundry, an intimate portico to enjoy sunsets and pond views, and an expansive private deck that will become one of your favourite destinations, the carriage house is ideal for family and guests. <br />
