There is a moment, somewhere along the winding private drive through a canopy of mature trees, when the outside world simply disappears.

That's how the listing description starts, and for once, it’s 100% accurate. Driving onto this property instantly makes you feel like you’ve been transported miles away from Rochester into your own private retreat.

Built in 2023 on more than ten acres of private woodland in Northwest Rochester, this is the kind of place you don’t see pop up very often. Not because it’s flashy or over-the-top, but because it’s so intentionally designed, it feels completely different from anything else out there.

From the outside, it’s absolutely stunning. The kind of place that'll have you staring. But it's so unique, you immediately want to see what’s inside.

And yeah… it does not disappoint.

With stand-out features like the perfect main-level primary suite, a drool-worthy sauna seamlessly built into everyday living, and closets that are to die for. There’s even a fully designed pet area that I'm completely obsessed with.

Everything feels custom because… it is. The cabinetry, built-ins, and all the little details were specifically designed for this home, and you can totally tell.

This is The Buckthorn!
