5501 Canyon River Drive

Overview

One-of-a-kind craftsmanship meets unforgettable entertaining on nearly 3 acres in Ada's Canyon River Development. This custom 3-bedroom, 4-bath home is filled with artisan details, from hand-forged ironwork that was done by an "Artprize" artist and intricate woodwork to timber framing, custom lighting and beautifully refinished hardwood floors. The craftsman kitchen features re-faced cabinets, new countertops, range and hood, walk-in pantry and fireplace, while the dramatic timber-framed great room is anchored by a soaring stone fireplace. Multiple decks overlook waterfalls, koi ponds, grape vines used for wine-making and lush perennial gardens. The real showstopper? An incredible studio/barn transformed into a private tavern and guest retreat, featuring a custom bar with pieces sourced from the former J. Gardella's, full kitchen, bath, guest room and loft. Add a detached 4-stall garage, animal barn and spectacular grounds for a property unlike anything else in Ada.

What to ask about this one

Three questions worth putting to the listing side before you write anything. They are specific to this property, not a checklist.

1. 01

   Confirm the bottomland ownership and what the dock permit allows

2. 02

   Check the lake board's rules on watercraft and no-wake hours

3. 03

   Confirm the township allows the intended number of animals

4. 04

   Budget for a pre-1978 inspection — lead paint, knob-and-tube, and the roof

5. 05

   Ask what the taxable value uncaps to after the sale, not what the seller pays now
