Despite being built in 1976, the property has undergone a recent and extensive high-end renovation, as explicitly stated in the description and visually confirmed by the images. The main residence and guest house feature modern, top-tier 'chef's kitchens' with new appliances, marble/quartz countertops, and contemporary cabinetry. Bathrooms are luxurious and spa-like, with modern fixtures, freestanding tubs, and large walk-in showers. Throughout the property, white oak flooring, custom wood details, and updated lighting (recessed, modern pendants, chandeliers) demonstrate a commitment to current quality standards and design. There is no visible deferred maintenance, and all components appear new or virtually new, aligning perfectly with the 'excellent' criteria for a recently renovated property.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 6247, other record living area = 3869.
High Price Point & Niche Market: The $9.95 million list price targets a very exclusive and limited buyer pool, potentially extending market time due to the specialized nature and significant investment required.
Age of Original Construction: While extensively renovated, the main residence was originally built in 1976, which may raise concerns for some luxury buyers regarding the age of underlying systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) not explicitly mentioned as fully replaced.
Extensive Maintenance Demands: The vast 5.22-acre property, multiple residences, extensive equestrian facilities, pool, spa, and elaborate landscaping require substantial ongoing maintenance, time, and financial investment, which may not appeal to all high-net-worth buyers seeking a lower-upkeep lifestyle.
