With city living, even the most adamant urbanite can became restless for wide open spaces and beautiful vistas. For many, the solution is weekend trips to get away, but owners of this Wildwood estate already have their own private retreat. Sitting on acres of beautiful land with panoramic views, 18665 Wild Horse Creek Road is like a trip to wine country without leaving the comforts of home. We spoke with listing agent Neil Gellman about what makes the property special.
Has the home been renovated?
There was a major remodel in 2015 and 2016. The lower level was completely redone. The kitchens and bathrooms were updated with beautiful Cambria quartz countertops, and custom closets were added. A new roof and deck were installed, as well as new windows and siding. The house really has been renovated inside and out.
What are some unique features of the house?
The master suite is incredible. It has a see-through fireplace, which separates the bed from his-and-her master baths with walk-in closets. It’s totally gorgeous, and everyone gets their own space. The home also has great finishes. I think the countertops in the bathrooms and kitchen are some of the home’s highlights.
What is the outdoor space like?
Phenomenal. Even with large lots, a lot of times there is very little usable green space, but that isn’t the case here. The backyard is enormous, and the beautiful landscape is reminiscent of the wineries in Defiance or Augusta. A stone and paver patio extends across the entire back of the house on the lower level, and there is a covered side patio and an upper-level deck, so it’s easy to enjoy the view. It’s also great for entertaining; you can host hundreds of people.
How is the house for entertaining?
It’s unbelievable. The lower level, which has access to the patio, has a full kitchen, wet bar and an incredible wine room. The floor plan and high ceilings make everything feel very open.
Do you have a favorite feature?
That’s a tough one; every aspect of the house is beautiful! I love the kitchen and hearth room. The whole lower level is spectacular, but I’ll go with the wine room. It’s super cool and almost medieval in style. It has an amazing custom door and is just a neat space.
