15614 Quail Ridge Drive

About this home

Smithville's Quail Ridge is a private enclave, and this French country estate is its rarest offering, 8,663 square feet on two acres, minutes from Smithville Lake, with nothing comparable in the Northland. A boxwood-lined drive winds past arched facades to the front door. Inside, a 1.5-story plan holds 6 bedrooms, 4 full baths, a half bath, and 4 fireplaces spread through the home. The main level does the talking. A formal living room looks out over the pond. The master suite shares that view, with a spa-like bath, walk-in shower, jetted tub, and its own fireplace. The kitchen sits beneath vaulted ceilings, stainless appliances, a gas range, a wet bar, and a walk-in pantry with a grocery drop zone, all facing a wide, still view of the pond, home to largemouth bass and blue catfish. A laundry room with its own drop zone and a private office finish the level. Upstairs, the 4 bedrooms share a second laundry area, so daily life stays easy at every level. Downstairs, the house changes character entirely. A movie theatre. An exercise room. A basement bar made for company. A suspended garage for the overflow. A triple-arched loggia runs two stories, joined by an iron spiral staircase. Outside, the grounds were shaped with the same care as the home. Evergreens and ornamental plantings frame a stone-walled fire pit. Burning bushes trace the edge of the pond. A landscape that has had time to settle in. Quail Ridge Drive itself holds just 11 homes, private, minutes from Smithville Lake, Camp Branch Marina, and the Paradise Pointe golf courses. Few homes offer this scale, this privacy, this setting. This is not one of a few. This is one of one. This is The Stonewater Estate.
