A mansion is for sale in the beautiful Elmore County countryside just east of Highway 231 in Wetumpka.

The 6,000 square foot home sits on about 6 acres of trees and wildlife off Trotters Trail Road at the end of Mill Creek Road. The property offers luxurious living in a private outdoor setting which even includes a scenic walking trail. 

“This part of Wetumpka is an older, established area that is highly desired for its convenience to Highway 231 while being quite secluded,” Realtor Angie Carter said. “The lots are large and wooded, affording maximum privacy only minutes from the city limits. Even though these areas have HOAs with covenants and restrictions, they are loosely held to allow the residents the feel of a rural area while maintaining a neat appearance. It is rare for houses in this area to come on the market.”

The two-story design was built in 2000, and includes a metal framed staircase, downstairs master suite with attached office or game room, wide halls and doorways, a residential passenger elevator and an upstairs master suite with a heated and cooled sun porch overlooking Mill Creek. 

“The home at 225 Mill Creek Road is very unique,” Carter said. “It was custom built by Mr. Roy Arnold over several years. He oversaw every moment of the steel I beam construction, custom floor plan specifically to meet the needs of him and his wife.” 

Great care was taken in the construction of the home. Triple thick exterior walls reduce utility bills, halls and doorways are wide enough for a wheelchair, and bathrooms are handicapped accessible. 

“It’s a screw-built home, very few nails were used in construction,” Carter said. “It has a geothermal heating and cooling system, and the water heaters are less than 5 years old.”

The kitchen features a commercial size refrigerator and freezer, walk-in pantry, custom cabinets, and drawers throughout, spice and appliance racks, divided drawers, and an elevated dishwasher.

A stair chair, which can be removed, can help the mobility-impaired with climbing the stairs, Carter said.  

High-speed internet, three concrete storage bins, a two-bedroom, one bath above-garage apartment, 30 by 80 shop, and RV hook ups with septic, water and power are some of the many appealing extras.  

The property is on the market for $1.1 million. The home contains six bedrooms and five bathrooms.
