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

That's the first line you read when you click on the listing and honestly… that’s not an exaggeration.

Because the second you start moving through this remarkable property, that’s exactly what happens - you forget you’re anywhere near Rochester.

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 striking. The kind of place you’d probably stare at a little longer than you meant to. But it's so unique, you immediately want to see what’s inside.

And yeah… it does not disappoint.

With stand out features like a main-level primary suite that feels like a retreat. A drool-worthy sauna seamlessly built into everyday living. Closets that are to die for. There’s even a fully designed pet area that I'm absolutely 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!
