Built in 1989 (37 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1989 and finished in 1994, is exceptionally well-maintained and features high-quality materials throughout. However, the kitchen, with its light wood flat-panel cabinets, granite countertops, and paneled refrigerator, along with several bathrooms (e.g., the one with a copper sink and green tub, and the primary bath's 90s-era design), exhibit styles that are distinctly dated. While functional and luxurious for its time, these areas would require minor updates to align with current aesthetic trends. The overall rustic, lodge-like aesthetic with extensive wood paneling and exposed beams, while a specific design choice, is not contemporary. The listing also notes potential for core system updates due to age. Therefore, it fits the 'fair' criteria of being aged but maintained, with functional major components showing signs of being outdated, and requiring minor updates for modern appeal.

Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 5, other record bedroom count = 4.
Property Age & Potential System Updates: Built in 1989 and finished in 1994, the property's core systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical) may be original and could require future updates or replacements to meet modern efficiency standards.
Niche Market & Extended Sales Cycle: The luxury price point of $4.7 million and the unique, custom nature of the estate target a very specific, affluent buyer demographic, which may result in a longer marketing period compared to more conventional properties.
High Ongoing Maintenance Requirements: An 8.6-acre property with a large custom home, pool, and extensive grounds will inherently incur substantial ongoing costs for landscaping, pool maintenance, utilities, and general upkeep.
