Welcome to Storybook--where dreams unfold and memories are captured. This enchanting 15.28-acre estate combines lifestyle and opportunity with a proven wedding and events venue. Rooted in charm, Storybook features a stunning 2-story 1880s barn and a Civil War-era cottage, all watched over by a custom-designed, 6-bedroom, 6-bath arts-and-crafts style residence. The temperature-controlled barn is a showstopper--soaring ceilings, exposed hand-stained beams, iron chandeliers, stained glass accents, and 100 year-old doors. It includes a spacious bridal suite, groom's room, and two ADA-compliant public bathrooms. The catering kitchen is outfitted with commercial-grade appliances, and much of the venue's furnishings and branding conveys with the sale. Outdoor amenities include a firepit area, vintage gazebo, grain silo for storage or vendors, and a pavilion--all ideal for weddings, retreats, and celebrations. The historic writer's cottage blends original pine flooring and brick fireplace with modern updates (including a NEW cedar shake roof in February 2026), keeping many historical details and charm intact while giving you the experience of a Tolkien or Lewis novel in real life. The three-story main estate, built just 14 years ago, features craftsmanship inspired by Europeantravels--oak hardwood floors, custom 8' doors, tall ceilings, and panoramic windows. The main kitchen has handmade oak cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless appliances. The upper-level primary suite boasts Alder wood floors, vaulted ceilings, and a luxurious bath with soaking tub. Downstairs includes a second kitchen and open living space with black brick herringbone floors and fireplace. With generous parking, two entrances--including Longline Road--and development potential, Storybook offers a unique opportunity to live, create, and grow.
