18014 Shepherd Valley Road

Set against a breathtaking backdrop of nearly 3 acres in the highly desirable Rockwood School District, this truly custom 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath retreat offers an exceptional combination of refined living, modern convenience, and the beauty of nature. Equine-approved and thoughtfully positioned to embrace its picturesque surroundings, this remarkable property delivers the space, privacy, and versatility that are increasingly hard to find. A welcoming double driveway leads to the home's inviting front entrance, where an expansive 2 story covered deck offers the perfect vantage point to take in the beauty of the property - especially as the landscape comes alive with the spectacular colors of fall.

Inside, more than 3,300 square feet of living space (per appraiser; tax records do not accurately reflect the home's finished square footage) unfolds with warmth, character, and an inviting sense of scale. The upper-level living area makes an unforgettable first impression with a dramatic two-story great room, anchored by a two-way fireplace. The beautifully appointed corner kitchen features quartz countertops, refinished cabinetry, and newer appliances, while abundant brand-new windows frame peaceful views of the surrounding acreage. A nearby dining area, convenient mudroom, and updated powder room create an effortless flow for everyday living and entertaining.

The thoughtfully designed main living area also offers a flexible office area that could serve as a fifth bedroom. 2 additional guest bedrooms and full bath round off this space. Enter the spacious primary retreat that feels like a private escape featuring vaulted ceilings, skylights, dual closets - including a walk-in and a true cedar closet - and private access to the backyard make this suite especially inviting. A dedicated main-level laundry room, complete with cabinetry, storage, and utility sink, adds another layer of everyday functionality.

The finished lower level extends the home's versatility with a welcoming rec room and fireplace, an additional bedroom, a full bath, and a bonus space ideal for a second office, hobby room, fitness area, or creative retreat. Would also work great as a mother-in-law suite!

Car enthusiasts, hobbyists, and those who simply appreciate exceptional storage will love the oversized three-car garage, featuring custom cabinetry, along with newly epoxied floors.

Beyond the home's impressive interior, the setting is truly special. Immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the property, with a serene backyard retreat overlooking a courtyard accented by paver pathways and a flowing waterfall pond. Whether enjoying a quiet morning, hosting friends, or simply taking in the changing seasons, this outdoor setting offers a peaceful connection to nature that is difficult to replicate.

Property benefits from the convenience of public water and sewer, along with an extensive list of improvements, including a new metal roof (rated for 50+ years!), gutters with leaf guard protection, siding, refinished decks, new windows throughout, tankless water heater, newer appliances, and central vacuum.

This is more than a home - it's a distinctive Wildwood lifestyle, offering the rare opportunity to enjoy acreage, equestrian potential, exceptional living space, and the beauty of nature, all in one extraordinary setting. Schedule your showing today!
