Introducing an extraordinary luxury estate offered in Southwestern Pennsylvania — an architectural masterpiece privately nestled on 13.87 breathtaking acres in prestigious South Strabane Township. Custom built by acclaimed builder Dave Leichty, this remarkable residence combines timeless design, exceptional craftsmanship, resort-inspired amenities, and unmatched privacy in a setting that feels worlds away while remaining moments from every modern convenience.

Positioned atop a scenic hilltop and surrounded by mature trees, sweeping lawns, and panoramic sunset views, the estate offers an incredibly rare combination of accessibility and seclusion. Located just minutes from Route 19, I-79, I-70, Route 136, Route 519, Southpointe, premier schools, fine dining, luxury shopping, entertainment, and Washington County’s most desirable destinations, the property delivers effortless convenience without sacrificing tranquility. From the moment you arrive through the stately brick entrance with elegant coined corners and ascend the grand circular driveway, it becomes immediately apparent this is no ordinary home — it is a private luxury retreat designed for extraordinary living.

The sprawling grounds are simply magnificent. Perfectly level, beautifully cleared, and framed by wooded privacy, the acreage offers endless possibilities for recreation, entertaining, equestrian pursuits, or future expansion. The setting is both serene and dramatic, with manicured landscaping, lush green lawns, and carefully curated outdoor spaces creating an atmosphere reminiscent of a private luxury resort.

At the heart of the outdoor experience lies the spectacular resort-style saltwater pool surrounded by expansive patios and elegant entertaining areas. A beautifully appointed pool cabana enhances the resort ambiance, offering the ideal setting for summer gatherings, sunset cocktails, and unforgettable evenings beneath the stars. Every inch of the exterior has been thoughtfully designed to maximize beauty, privacy, and lifestyle while seamlessly blending elegance with nature.

The residence itself is an extraordinary showcase of timeless architecture and sophisticated interior design. Upon entering, guests are welcomed into a breathtaking two-story foyer featuring dual sweeping staircases, soaring ceilings, polished marble flooring, dramatic arched windows, and a stunning crystal chandelier equipped with a motorized lift system for effortless maintenance and lasting brilliance. Sunlight floods the home from every angle, illuminating the exquisite craftsmanship and refined finishes found throughout.

Elegant architectural details create a sense of grandeur in every room, including extensive custom millwork, intricate crown molding, rich hardwood flooring, chair rail accents, detailed wainscoting, tray ceilings, and thoughtfully designed living spaces that balance luxury with warmth and comfort.

The magnificent great room serves as the centerpiece of the main level and offers a dramatic yet inviting atmosphere for both intimate living and grand-scale entertaining.

Seamlessly connected to the kitchen and outdoor living spaces, the great room creates effortless flow throughout the home.

Designed to satisfy even the most discerning chef, the gourmet kitchen is both elegant and highly functional. An oversized waterfall island commands attention while serving as the perfect gathering space for family and guests.
