Bring the animals, the family, and all your toys to this amazing rural-residential zoned property in the heart of Mandarin. This is a RARE property on an almost 6-acre wooded lot with a home that seamlessly blends simplicity, functionality, and harmony with nature. This one-owner custom-architect-designed contemporary home was designed and built in 1978 and has been lovingly maintained by its original owners since then. Featuring clean lines and organic, earthy materials, this home blends warm wood tones and natural elements with the surrounding landscape. Large windows bathe the interior in natural light, fostering a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces. The sliding glass doors opening to the deck connect the interior to the beauty outside. The open-concept layout creates a spacious, airy atmosphere with minimal walls, allowing a natural flow ideal for both everyday living as well as entertaining. Rich wood, sleek molded surfaces, and polished metal accents add streamlined elegance, contributing to the clean, uncluttered aesthetic. The kitchen is sophisticated and lively. Custom German-made cabinets are the focal point, featuring rounded edges and soft, curved corners that capture the design's embrace of organic forms and smooth, streamlined shapes. Paired with natural wood accents and polished metal, the kitchen exemplifies a nostalgic yet modern vibe, seamlessly blending past and present. Don't miss the pull out table next to the refrigerator. The upstairs bathroom features a one-piece shower imported from Italy, and the wood aesthetic continues to create a warm, cohesive look that resonates with the rest of the home's style. The property includes three lots. One of the lots is a former homesite, presenting an opportunity for a second home or simply additional privacy. This property offers an unparalleled blend of style, comfort, and a profound connection to its natural surroundings - a true retreat! Don't miss it. Schedule your appointment today!
