Spread across 7.5 fenced and pristine acres in the Old Growth Oaks of North DeLand, this is the English countryside reimagined, a rare Cotswold Cottage handcrafted as a replica of the famed Rose Cottage of Dearborn, Michigan. Handpicked yellow brick rises beneath a lifetime custom COPPER ROOF, one shared by the cottage and most outbuildings too. Inside, exposed structural cedar beams, graceful arched doorways, and detailed craftsmanship from a slower era greet you at every turn. The 3,162 square foot main home offers 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, including two PRIMARY suites upstairs, each with its own fireplace and walk in closet, and a private balcony where morning coffee meets a well fed pond below. Downstairs, a basement bedroom has its own fireplace and terracotta floors. Adding to the home's appeal, beautiful fireplaces grace both the front foyer and living room, there is a laundry room upstairs and a brick courtyard in the back. Thoughtful updates carry throughout: fresh interior paint, new exterior front doors, plantation shutters, new blinds, granite counters in the kitchen and every bath, and newer equipment for the 22x48 in ground POOL of Italian glass tile and flagstone. A separate 793 square foot in-law suite, added in 2018, offers 1 bedroom and 1.5 baths for guests or family. Beyond the mature landscaping and fruit trees, the land is ready to work, zoned agricultural and fully fenced in board and wire, ideal for a horse operation, hobby farm, or agricultural business. You will find SIX NEW STALLS, four 10x12 and two 10x6, a dedicated tack room, a greenhouse, two oversized garages, separate enclosed spaces for chickens and goats and 3.5 acres of irrigated pasture.
