Radiant Custom-Designed Home With Expansive Acreage

PRICE REDUCED! Welcome to Heartwood. A one-of-a-kind estate centered around an ethic of care and conservation. A place of peace, the south-facing property is basked in light, bringing radiance and joy to the custom-designed multi-story home and accompanying sprawling acreage. Designed to bring resilience and warmth to the bodies and minds of those who reside here, the versatile layout juxtaposes the relationship between the home and the land while creating a therapeutic tranquility that only nature can provide. Private and provincial, the location takes you into the respite of the country without sacrificing the vast and numerous conveniences provided by nearby Elmira, Corning, and Horseheads, NY — including the bustle of shopping, dining, employment, educational institutions, healthcare, the Elmira-Corning Regional Airport, and more.

The Home:

Majestic and versatile, the home occupies three floors totaling approximately 7,000 square feet of beautifully finished and well-maintained space. Strong in its virtues, colors, and design, the unique and adaptable residence features two distinctly separate living spaces and an additional flexible finished space below grade that could serve a multitude of purposes, including an office or additional living quarters. With the mind trust of its current owners, the site was custom-curated as a place to provide a nucleus for family and friends to unite and share in a truly one-of-a-kind, bright, and inviting location. With flowing spaces, large windows, spacious rooms, and a flexible concept, functionality was brought to the max in the design of this home. Featuring five spacious bedrooms, five bathrooms, dual open kitchens, dual laundry rooms, multiple flexible-use rooms, and other common areas, the living space(s) are vivid in design, and provide a strong opportunity for those who can see the potential contained within such a unique and adaptable blueprint. Additional stand-out features include two showcase-worthy, custom-designed Tulikivi soapstone fireplaces on the main floor, a beautiful sun-drenched, panoramic three-season porch with southwest-facing views, giant 3.5-car garage with a large walk-up finished space above, and several small outbuildings. Extensive mechanicals were custom-designed to allow for each level to have its own climate control, abundant hot water, and several additional virtues that raise the potential of an Airbnb, Bed &amp, Breakfast, multi-family living situation, or other ardent potential business or personal living prospects. A whole-house backup generator, Spectrum high-speed internet, and adequate cell phone service punctuate the utility of the space without compromising the bounty of its contrasting serenity — yet equal a place that “has it all.” Standing in an overwatch of nearly 60 graceful acres, the broad-reaching landscape is a patchwork of possibility underscored by majestic beauty sure to settle one’s spirit.

The Land:

A prominent space in the surrounding valley, the mosaic of open space features tillable fields, brushy habitat, piercing-tall trees, and a mirror-like pond that typify a serene landscape where one can expand their mind and catch their breath. Bright and brilliant, the south-facing aspect experiences the warmth of the sun’s embrace year-round with breathtaking views of both sunrises and sunsets. Wildlife is abundant across the landscape, with white-tailed deer, turkey, and small game taking up “permanent” residence. An extensive catalog of songbirds is abundant and can be seen throughout all reaches of the property and at different time intervals throughout the year. Area hunting is noted to be of good quality, and much of the property has been dedicated to conservation efforts to provide good-quality habitat and sanctuary for all wildlife species. Among the forested stand is a mix of hard and soft wood tree species which have not seen a saw blade for decades. Approximately 30 acres of open fields combine soil mixes suited for various crops, including hay, corn, and soybeans, which have all been sown by the neighboring farmer at various times during the current owners’ tenure of ownership. Originally dug to 30 feet deep, the pond offers a multitude of uses, including fishing, floating, and swimming among its clear waters. Seller oil, gas, mineral, and timber rights are 100% intact and will convey to the new owners. The captivating concept of this rare find is second to none, with an essence that can only be cultivated through experience. A place to set roots, grow and prosper, Heartwood’s quiet embrace is one to admonish in the revelry of its unique character, personality, and draw where people come to relax, rejuvenate, and reconnect. A true spirit of the southern tier, this property is a must-see for those seeking to cut their own slice of heaven.
