Show-Me Real Estate offers luxurious home in serene setting

Luxurious. Serene. Private. Those are just a few of the words that describe the gated, custom, timber-framed home on 73.61 acres at 2000 NE 132nd St. in Smithville, Mo. This elegant home is now offered by Show-Me Real Estate for $2,950,000.

Once you enter the gates of this property, you will feel as if you are entering a nature sanctuary. You’ll travel past manicured acreage that includes walnut, locust, oak, hedge, wild cherry and hackberry trees sheltering an abundance of deer and turkey. The winding, paved road leads to the circle drive with a stunning water feature in front of the house.

The 22-foot entry to the home is lined with flagstone under the log-column, covered front porch. The massive 4-foot by 10-foot custom front door leads to the luxurious interior of this 11/2-story home with a generous 6,579 square feet of living space beautifully laid out on three levels. Here you will find five bedrooms, 71/2 bathrooms and six gorgeous fireplaces.

“You will be amazed with the custom lighting, including the alabaster entry light,” said Dirk Talley, owner/broker of Show-Me Real Estate.

The expansive great room is supported by 16-foot Northwest Montana Douglas Fir logs and has a vaulted ceiling that soars above the loft and catwalk. The stone fireplace has a 56-inch opening covered with a custom grate made to match the design of the entrance gates to the property. The built-in entertainment center houses all the electronics, for a clean look.

Large log beams define the dining room and a custom knotty alder wood floor extends throughout the open design of the main level. A half-bath off the dining room has unique African Kudu fixtures. Another fireplace provides a cheery glow in the hearth room lined with walls of windows overlooking the pool.

The kitchen has a large eat-on bar and alder and honey pecan custom cabinets with oak dovetail drawer boxes. The counter tops are constructed of stone slab. An abundance of Viking appliances includes two dishwashers, double oven, grill, plate warmer, bread warmer and garbage compactor.

A three-seasons room offers a stone fireplace to ward off cool spring and fall breezes while the flagstone floor leads to the veranda overlooking the saltwater swimming pool and landscaped patio.

The main floor also includes an office, hidden behind stained glass doors that mirror the design of the entry gates to the property similar to the custom-grated fireplace. This room has cherry wood floors, wainscot covered walls and a fireplace with a flush hearth. French doors open to the southeast facing veranda, the perfect spot to enjoy a relaxing moment in the serene, natural, breathtaking beauty of the manicured lawn.

Yet another fireplace with a raised hearth graces the main-level master suite with vaulted gable ceilings, faux painted walls and a private entrance to the veranda. The spacious master bath has vaulted ceilings, 8-foot interior doors, birch cabinetry, stone counter tops, an open shower and a two-person corner tub framed by windows overlooking the private grounds. A spiral staircase leads to a workout room and sauna on the lower level of the home.

The spacious master closet has a built-in washer and dryer, as well as a Personal Valet clothes revitalizing system. Built-ins offer shoe and purse storage as well as plenty of drawer space.

The upper level includes a catwalk and loft, as well as two bedrooms and a flex room that could be used as a third bedroom or media room. One bedroom has an en suite bath and the other two share a Jack-and-Jill bath.

The focal point of the lower-level rec room is a stone fireplace with raised hearth. The 11-foot ceiling is defined by 18-inch log beams and this room has a slate floor. A bar area includes a sink, dishwasher, refrigerator, ice maker and custom cabinetry inlaid with copper and granite counter tops. This area walks out to the perfectly landscaped, salt-water pool that makes relaxation inevitable.

Two more rooms are on the lower level: a banquet room that can be used for many occasions and a billiards room. The sauna and workout room also can be accessed from this level, as well as by the spiral staircase to the master bathroom.

This home has four attached side-entry garages, as well as a 42- by 70-foot barn constructed with a steel frame and trusses with a concrete floor. The 16-foot electric door allows for RV and boat storage with room to spare.

You may never want to leave this private retreat, but if you do, it is minutes from extensive recreational opportunities at Smithville Lake that include boating, fishing and golf. The city of Smithville offers an excellent school system as well as shopping, restaurants and services, all located close to Kansas City and KCI airport.
