This exceptional estate blends timeless elegance with modern sophistication, offering a rare opportunity to enjoy equestrian lifestyle living without sacrificing luxury or convenience.  From the moment you arrive, the home makes a lasting impression. A generous, extended driveway welcomes you with space for guests, gatherings, and recreational vehicles alike, complemented by a spacious three-car garage and dedicated RV parking. The setting feels both grand and private - a sanctuary thoughtfully designed for those who value space, beauty, and freedom.  Step inside and be embraced by warmth and craftsmanship. Two stunning fireplaces anchor the living spaces, creating inviting atmospheres for intimate evenings and lively celebrations. Natural light pours through expansive windows, illuminating refined finishes and carefully curated upgrades throughout the home.  At the heart of the residence lies a beautifully remodeled kitchen designed to inspire. Featuring premium finishes, upgraded cabinetry, elegant countertops, and modern appliances, this space effortlessly balances functionality with style.

Designer touches, elevated fixtures, and contemporary finishes provide both comfort and sophistication, transforming daily routines into moments of indulgence.  Step beyond the doors and discover a backyard that feels like your own private estate. The expansive, fully fenced yard offers room to breathe, play, entertain, and unwind beneath open skies. It is a canvas for outdoor living - from summer soirees under the stars to peaceful mornings listening to nature awaken.  For equestrian enthusiasts, this property is truly extraordinary. Zoned for horses and designed with the riding lifestyle in mind, it offers private riding access and a horse arena - an increasingly rare luxury in such a desirable neighborhood. Enjoy direct access to scenic horse trails and jogging paths, allowing you to explore the surrounding natural beauty right from your own gate. A nearby dog park further enhances the lifestyle appeal, creating a harmonious balance for every member of the household - two-legged and four-legged alike.  Carriage Hill is known for its spacious parcels, tranquil ambiance, and strong sense of community. Yet despite its peaceful setting, you remain conveniently close to shopping, dining, top-rated schools, and coastal attractions. It is a location that offers both retreat and accessibility - a place where sunsets feel slower and life feels richer.  This is more than a home; it is a statement of lifestyle. It is morning rides along quiet trails, evenings gathered by the fire, laughter echoing across a generous yard, and the freedom to live expansively. It is the rare blend of rural charm and elevated design. It is privacy without isolation, luxury without pretension, and space without compromise.  Opportunities like this in Carriage Hill are few and far between. For those who dream of refined country living with modern upgrades, generous amenities, and true equestrian potential, this residence delivers in every way.  Welcome home.
