About this home

Discover an extraordinary combination of acreage, architectural character and thoughtful engineering at 700 Walnut Creek Road. Set on 22+ private acres near Patriot Parkway and Ring Road, this custom residence offers more than 5,000 square feet of living space just minutes from Elizabethtown's medical facilities, shopping and dining. An expansive meadow, tree-lined views and beautiful sunsets create a peaceful backdrop for everyday living. Inspired by the work of Frank Lloyd Wright and Malcolm Wells, the home's design blends artistic expression with the natural landscape and practical passive-solar principles. Featured in two Fine Homebuilding articles, this distinctive residence combines fourteen concrete columns poured on site with substantial laminated timber beams, allowing for soaring 21-foot wood ceilings and an expansive south-facing window wall that fills the interior with natural light. Inside, a double-helix oak spiral staircase, solid oak doors, extensive custom cabinetry and an indoor fountain reflect the artistry behind the design. The home offers five bedrooms, including two en suites, and four full bathrooms. An impressive 108-foot-long loft provides library and recreation space with extensive built-in oak bookshelves. The spacious kitchen features generous workspace, multiple sinks, a fold-out pantry and abundant storage. Nearly 2,000 additional square feet of combined workshop and garage space expand the property's versatility. The workshop features a long worktable, shelving, a utility sink, 120- and 220-volt wiring, and its own garage-door access and separate driveway, providing exceptional space for creative projects, hobbies and equipment storage. Energy-conscious design is integral to the home. South-facing windows capture winter sunlight, quarry-tile floors store and release warmth, roof overhangs provide summer shade, and earth berming along the north side helps moderate temperature changes. Geothermal heating and cooling, rooftop solar panels and a metal roof complement this thoughtful approach. Sellers report historical electric bills under $20 per month; usage and costs will vary. With its remarkable setting, published architectural history and exceptional spaces for living, working and creating, 700 Walnut Creek Road offers a distinctive opportunity to enjoy a private retreat close to the conveniences of town.
