Some homes are built. This one was composed. Set on a quiet street in the coveted Stillwater enclave of WaterSound Origins, 165 Needle Cast Lane is a custom coastal estate of approximately 5,000 heated square feet that transcends convention at every turn. The two-story residence -- clad in crisp white board-and-batten with standing seam metal roof accents and gas lanterns at the entry -- is joined by a covered breezeway to a detached carriage house, creating the feel of a private compound on a preserve-backed lot with pond views and a twenty-foot landscaped easement for added privacy. Through custom Firerock French glass entry doors, a herringbone white oak foyer opens to a great room stretching over forty-four feet, anchored by a six-foot color-changing linear gas fireplace and framed by walls of floor-to-ceiling Firerock glass that dissolve the boundary between indoors and out. Eleven-foot ceilings and wide-plank white oak floors run throughout, grounding a bold design palette of matte black cabinetry, brushed gold hardware, and luminous marble surfaces. The kitchen features a fourteen-foot waterfall marble island beneath a custom woodwork ceiling with ambient LED cove lighting, Thermador professional-grade appliances including a six-burner gas range with griddle, dual convection and steam ovens, a built-in pizza oven, pot filler, and warming drawer. A fully equipped butler's pantry with Thermador coffee maker, pellet ice machine, pull-out refrigerator and freezer drawers, and its own dishwasher serves as a second prep zone. The dedicated wine room visible through floor-to-ceiling Firerock glass doors holds 336 bottles with a four-bottle dispensing system, built-in wine fridge, and illuminated white oak spirits shelving. The second-floor owner's suite features a vaulted beamed ceiling with statement chandelier, wallpaper accent walls, and motorized blackout drapery. The master bath is appointed with a Toto zero-gravity flotation soaking tub, a fifteen-foot dual-stall digital shower with six body jets, dual rain showers, handheld wands, built-in anti-fog mirror, and marble dolomite walls with custom black marble inlay and illuminated niches. Separate his-and-hers California Closets hers with a center island and ambient lighting and an adjoining laundry room with custom marble floors complete the suite. A second-floor morning bar with built-in Bosch coffee maker and refrigerator, two additional bedrooms with a beautifully appointed Jack-and-Jill bath, and a first-floor guest master suite with digital steam shower and champagne bubble-jet soaking tub with heated backrest round out the living spaces. The dedicated mudroom includes a built-in dog crate, pet feeding drawer, and concealed stacked washer and dryer. The rear of the home opens to a private outdoor resort: white marble pavers surround a heated pool with waterfalls, sun shelf, sunken barstools, and ambient lighting alongside a nine-person spa and a sunken gas fire pit with built-in bench seating on manicured turf. The covered patio offers a color-changing gas fireplace, built-in grill with vent hood, outdoor refrigerator, bar sink, and three motorized bug screens for seamless evening entertaining. Whole-home Sonos, Lutron motorized shades on every window, comprehensive security cameras, and custom landscape lighting are standard throughout. The carriage house features Sonos theater surround sound, a wet bar, custom wallpaper, a half bath convertible to full, generous storage, and motorized drapery. WaterSound Origins, a 1,400-acre master-planned community where short-term rentals are prohibited offers the Village Commons resort-style pool and fitness center, Origins Golf Course, tennis and pickleball courts, miles of nature trails, dock access to Lake Powell, and Watersound Town Center with Publix, dining, and retail.
