The Wow Factor! From the moment you embark upon your drive through a gentle wood and glimpse the 19th century porte-co-chere you can expect to be impressed. Elegant yet understated - this handsome stone and frame homestead employs natural materials throughout. The exterior elements such as native fieldstone, wood, standing seam style metal roof and a massive use of glass, lets this structure radiate a warm rich atmosphere both inside and out. The concept and design of this extraordinary home takes its cue from the early stone farmhouses that dotted the countryside in the early years of settlement during the late 18th century.

Upon entering one is touched by the interior textures of stone, glass and wood that blend harmoniously with views and vistas of distant valley and mountain panoramas. The walls of native fieldstone and use of massive barn timbers form a dramatic Post and Beam, Two-story great room that uses a double-sided fieldstone fireplace to divide the living room from the dining area. The stone walls and polished concrete floor with radiant heat create a heat sink - reducing the cost of heating in the cooler months and also keeps the home reasonably cool in the summer months. This house means to be green.

The ground floor flows effortlessly from the bath to the state-of-the-art gourmet kitchen - equipped with Viking range, refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher, custom cabinetry, and a wraparound soapstone countertop that creates ample room for meal preparation or an informal breakfast. A separate mud room entry leads to a large wainscoted larder, separate laundry room - providing easy service access to the kitchen. An open stairway leads to the sleeping level, open landing, and Master bedroom suite with sleeping porch to catch that morning sun and watch the fog roll down the valley below. The master bath is resplendent with Subway tile and period mouldings. The guest bedrooms are of ample size - light and bright with a separate Victorian bath.

Attention to detail best describes the workmanship and design. This architectural gem is set on 12 secluded acres, with a minimum of invasive clearing giving the feel that it has been here 200 plus years, allowing easy maintenance.

For the most discriminating buyer. Minutes from world class skiing, golf, and an area steeped in history and culture.
