About this home
For those dreaming of a greener, more selfsufficient lifestyle, this timberframe estate delivers the perfect blend of sustainability and sophistication. Perched atop nearly six lush acres, the property offers the freedom to cultivate organic gardens, harvest your own produce, and raise chickens, goats, or even horses-all while enjoying the comforts of a thoughtfully designed, environmentally conscious retreat. From garden to table, gather ingredients grown on your land to create memorable meals, perfectly paired with wine as the sun sets over your private sanctuary. Surrounded by gently rolling lawns, native flowers, and mature hardwoods, the setting offers rare privacy and an immersive connection to nature. Spend your days tending the gardens, riding horseback on nearby trails, or relaxing beneath the shade of a centuriesold oak. As evening falls, prepare a seasonal meal on the bluestone patio and share it with family or friends, enjoying the peaceful beauty of the setting sun. Intentionally designed for lowmaintenance and energyefficient living, the home invites you to slow down, spread out, and live with purpose. Crafted from reclaimed Douglas Fir and finished with enduring natural materials, it exudes artisanal craftsmanship and timeless elegance.
