Overview

Description

Move right in, renovate, or tear-down to build new at one of Medina's premier home sites in the countryside, just 12 minutes from 494. Designed by Humphrey & Hardenbergh, the estate was meticulously developed to maximize privacy, views, integration with nature, and use for outdoor activities. Built of durable, timeless, fine redwood lumber, the home was built to last and carefully positioned to place walls of windows along the southern elevation, bringing in natural light and breathtaking views of the vast estate and private pond. The home and grounds have been carefully maintained and updated throughout the chain of ownership. For equestrian enthusiasts, the property features riding trails, an outdoor arena, and a four-box stall barn with a feeding loft that is connected to the residence. Built in 2018, the 42' x 48' Morton Building features two additional finished spaces that can be used for workshop, exercise space, sport court, or flex, with in-floor heat and a half bath.
