If you've been searching for privacy, nature, and room to breathe, this 10-acre wooded retreat in Jackson Township delivers it all. Tucked away down a private drive, this custom home makes a striking first impression with its dramatic glass and wrought iron entry door designed to welcome fresh air and natural light into the home. Inside, the layout is both impressive and comfortable. The foyer is framed by a private office and formal dining room before opening into a stunning great room with 12-foot ceilings, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, and expansive windows that keep the surrounding landscape in view year-round. At the center of the home is a true gathering kitchen featuring an oversized granite island, abundant cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, and an eight-burner professional range with double ovens. The space flows naturally into a warm family room with a second fireplace, creating an inviting atmosphere where everyone can stay connected. The main floor primary suite offers a peaceful retreat designed to wake up to nature. The spa-style bath includes dual vanities, a dedicated makeup area, a tiled walk-in shower, soaking tub, private water closet, and a beautifully finished custom closet. Upstairs are two spacious bedrooms, a full bath, and a large unfinished flex room ready to become a studio, bunk room, fitness space, or additional living area. The walkout basement offers even more opportunity to expand as your needs evolve. Outdoor living is just as inviting with patios off the main living spaces and walkout level, offering plenty of room to host gatherings or simply enjoy the quiet privacy of the wooded setting. With geothermal heating and cooling, whole-house audio, and a security system already in place, the home blends thoughtful efficiency with everyday comfort. A rare opportunity to enjoy 10 private wooded acres in Jackson Township while still being just minutes from Valparaiso.
