About this 3 bedroom 4 bath house

Set on 7+ beautifully developed acres, 6725 Shirland Rd is a distinctive estate property offering a remarkable combination of privacy, recreation & carefully cultivated outdoor living. The grounds have been developed over decades with mature trees, broad lawns, specimen plantings, orchard-style groupings and an elaborate waterscape featuring interconnected ponds, cascading waterfalls, stone-lined channels and lush landscaping. Extensive paver patios, stone walkways, retaining walls and multiple gathering areas create a setting that feels more like a private nature retreat than a traditional acreage property. A large front wraparound deck extends the living space outdoors and captures views across the grounds. Inside, the expansive ranch offers generous room sizes and a warm, comfortable architect designed layout. The kitchen is a true centerpiece, featuring extensive cabinetry, a large center sink island and breakfast bar, hardwood flooring, built-in work areas and an adjoining dining space with additional built in cabinetry overlooking the landscape. The oversized primary suite offers abundant space, extensive built-in storage and direct deck access the front, and side wrap around deck. Additional main-floor living areas provide flexibility for entertaining, office use & everyday living. The finished lower level adds substantial recreational space with a family room, fireplace, wet bar/kitchenette area, bedroom, bath and additional flexible-use and storage spaces. A 25x45 outbuilding provides excellent space for workshop use, livestock, hobbies, equipment or storage. The property also includes a custom elevated treehouse/playhouse with wraparound deck, climbing wall, zip line, slide, & fireman pole. There is even a stand alone garden / storage shed. From the winding drive and mature landscape to the waterfalls, patios, deck, outbuilding and one-of-a-kind outdoor amenities, this is a property that would be extraordinarily difficult to recreate and this is it's introduction to the market after 5 decades of cultivation.
