The Award-Winning Nariah, masterfully crafted by John Cannon Homes, is a luxurious gated estate nestled in the heart of 9.61 perfectly manicured acres in Foxwood, Panther Ridge’s most exclusive neighborhood. From the moment the elegant gates swing open and you begin travelling down the long sweeping driveway to the home, you will be enchanted by the land, the peaceful setting, the estate itself. On both sides of the driveway is a lake, each with its own fountain, majestic oak trees, and elegant palm trees. The pavered circular driveway is just a small portion of the parking available as the Nariah has a 4-car garage as well as additional parking on both the east and west side of the home. The private front courtyard will charm you with a softly bubbling fountain and beautifully designed courtyard entrance, reminiscent of homes in southern Italy. Enter the double leaded glass doors and discover elegance on a scale that is almost impossible to find outside of Tuscany. Soaring 22’ ceilings, custom faux painted walls, graceful Corinthian-capped columns, coffered ceilings with inlays, rich crown molding, disappearing sliders, and many more palatial appointments befitting a home of this magnitude can be found throughout. The outdoor entertaining area is magnificent and includes a 3-story cage that covers the immense entertainment area. The pool measures an impressive 18’ x 56’, has a large waterfall spa and a 9’ x 11’ sun shelf. This spectacular pool can be seen from almost every room in the house and the disappearing sliders invite the outdoors in, making entertaining your family and guests a pleasure. In addition, there is a Tuscan inspired outdoor covered dining area and kitchen that includes a gas fireplace. The family room is set off perfectly with a 22’ custom ceiling, while the kitchen has everything an inspired chef could desire including a Subzero refrigerator, Dacor gas stove, Dacor convection oven, microwave, 2 sinks, Bosch dishwasher and walk-in pantry. There is also an exquisite wine room, butler pantry, and one of the bedrooms has been repurposed into a phenomenal library complete with a large walk-in closet to help keep you organized. The Owner’s Suite features a deep soaking spa tub, sensational walk-in shower with private garden, his and her closets, and a private sitting area. Another full bedroom and bath complete the downstairs. Upstairs there is a large gathering area, tailor-made for movies or billiards, a mini-bar, as well as two more en-suite bedrooms, one of which includes a balcony overlooking the pool and spacious grounds. Also included: A Niles multi-room sound system inside as well as outside, a whole house generator, outdoor lighting, and in the backyard, you will find a fire pit and romantic gazebo. The Nariah backs up to the world-famous Concession Golf & CC, which offers a private golf course package as well as a social membership (join if you like, but membership is not mandatory).
