New on the market, 20 Shady Bend Drive, this incredibly rare, masterfully designed estate on 2.69 manicured and wooded acres, meticulous in every detail and situated in a remote gated community exudes classic luxury. The property offers 8,054 square feet and is equipped with six bedrooms, seven full baths, two half baths, an elegant study, theatre room, an arcade game room, and a game/billiard room with a full bar and karaoke stage. The home is draped with decadent details, with palm trees carved in foyer walls, spectacular coffered ceilings and artistically scrolled iron banisters.
Some consider that it as unparalleled resort-style living beginning in the backyard then inspired from traveling around the world and constructed on the idea “if you can’t go away on vacation why not bring the vacation to you.” From the sparkling swimming pool, streams immolating the Rocky Mountains, a 13-ft tall waterfall and 300 tons of naturally sourced Oklahoma stone, California Fan palm trees, Asian-inspired Koi pond, outdoor kitchen, and two tiki huts adorned with sculptures and art obtained from around the world, homeowners will experience a serene staycation globetrotters paradise. The custom-designed swimming pool complete with an island and slide is so resort-worthy that it was featured on Animal Planet's “Pool Master Season 1 Episode 4."
The home uses geothermal technology for heating and air. The gourmet kitchen showcases a Fulgor Milano cooktop, Wolf double ovens, Viking warming drawers, refrigerated drink drawers, a Subzero refrigerator, a butler’s pantry, a coffee bar and a wall of windows overlooking the lush backyard. The master bath features heated floors and a spiral staircase up to a private balcony. The laundry room includes a dog-washing tub.
Upgraded architectural features have been chosen for optimal light and luxurious comfort with entertaining in mind.

The illuminated bar is made from Burl wood and features instant hot water, a dishwashing drawer, two Subzero wine refrigerators, and an ice maker.
