For centuries composers, writers and artists have found their inspiration by living and working within the sight and sounds of nature. The sounds of moving water, the breeze of a summer's day as it stirs the leaves and the melodic song of the birds. Rarely can we find such a place, a place that has withstood the ravages of time, not only the elements of nature but also the financial roller coaster of a nation in the grips of a Civil War and market panics that ensured.

A souvenir, serving as a token of remembrance, as a place, occasion or experience, a memento to come to mind is what this reminds us of. What remains is an icon of Americana, to be enjoyed for generations to come. The reverberations of this 1856 gristmill along with the buzz of activity that once drew the hamlet together are silent now. After over a decade of stabilization and restoration, this 4500 square foot edifice has been transformed into a magnificent artist studio and haven. It is fitting that upon a sojourn into this seductive world of enchantment, you will discover one of the most tranquil and alluring places to be experienced in a long time. The artist in residence and her talented husband reap all the benefits that this unique homestead has to offer.

Up entering the main living level one is met with the impact of its vastness, yet the architect wove and juxtaposes the various living areas to create a sense of intimacy. An immense country French kitchen with wraparound windows allows those eating or preparing a meal to savor both nourishment and the views and vistas overlooking the mill stream and the pastoral marsh and meadow beyond. A larger more formal dining area can handle a banquet. The glow of a woodstove and its radiant heat adds to the nostalgic days gone by. A hand-honed bookcase defines the separation of a reading room and a more intrinsic area for sitting. The bathroom is the size of a studio apartment. Its spaciousness lures a bather to treat oneself to a bit of relaxation and pampering, candlelight and the ever audible stream. The upper level and versatile floor plan beckons the creative spirit. A clever use of the split floor plan provides for a guest bed room, a cathedral ceilinged studio, with exposed beams, can also provide the ideal media room. The piece de resistance is the Master Bedroom, a suite so rewarding at the end of the day. The windows open to create cross ventilation, and allowing you to savor a Van Gogh star studded sky as the night holds your worries away.

Amenities include a separate ground level workshop, roughly the size of a two car garage, and a naturally cooled wine cellar. A lush lawn with established perennial gardens lures you bewitchingly to a stone terrace and entrance. The thrill of discovery from the structural and sculptural stone work with multi levels that lead to the cantilevered dining deck overlooking the stone millrace and stream. The installation of exterior cedar siding carries you visually along with artful detailing. Adding to that "step back in time "feeling is the grape arbor that carries a centuries old tradition once found at every homestead. Location, Location, Location.
