221 Smith Clove Road Introducing one of Highland Mills' most impressive estates-an architectural statement set on 6.5 private acres in the Monroe-Woodbury School District. Built by a seasoned general contractor for his own family, this 5, 140+ sq ft residence pairs exceptional craftsmanship with the scale and sophistication of a true luxury home. A sun-filled two-story foyer welcomes you with a sweeping handcrafted staircase and a dramatic Palladian window that frames the outdoors. The great room rises with towering ceilings and centers on a striking floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, surrounded by oversized windows and multiple sets of Andersen doors that bathe the space in natural light. The kitchen is a standout-a 12' marble island, full-size Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, 8-burner Wolf range, beverage station, and custom cabinetry combine to create a space built for serious cooking and effortless entertaining. It flows seamlessly into the dining and living areas, creating an ideal environment for gatherings of any size. A first-floor bedroom is conveniently located adjacent to a full bath and den with its own fireplace. This offers versatility for guests, multi-generational living, or a private office. Additional conveniences include a mudroom off the three-car garage and a stylish powder room. Upstairs, the primary suite provides a true retreat with tray ceilings, hardwood floors, and a spa bathroom featuring travertine tile, a jacuzzi tub, rain shower, and marble finishes. Three additional bedrooms, two well-appointed full baths, and a second-floor laundry complete the level. The home's construction reflects quality at every turn: 2x6 Douglas fir framing, 12" concrete foundation, spray foam insulation, Buderus boiler, 300-amp underground electric, owned propane tank, central vacuum, built-in speakers, and automatic lighting throughout. Designed for efficiency, comfort, and longevity, this is a home engineered to outperform others in its class. Outside, a 20' x 25' bluestone patio overlooks two cleared acres with wooded surroundings-offering privacy, space for recreation, and the potential for future enhancements such as a pool or guest cottage. Located minutes from highways, trains, and Woodbury's private lake, pool, and recreation complex, this property offers a rare blend of convenience, seclusion, and true custom construction. A standout luxury offering rarely available at this level in Orange County
