A truly unique country Estate. Designed and constructed by a custom builder to be used as his personal primary residence, no expense was spared in design or building materials. The home boasts an impeccable fusion of commercial-grade fixtures, state of the art construction and exacting architectural detail, culminating in a house that strikes a perfect balance of bold, warmth and welcoming. The Estate is nestled on 15 serene, wild-game filled, wooded acres, surrounded by an additional 150 acres of protected nature preserve. This 5 bedroom, 5.5 bath home is as luxurious as the location is secluded and lush. The drive along the winding, manicured, private road through the beautiful hand-crafted gate to the home is a striking first impression. The incredible attention to detail with the use of unique and artisanal materials in both construction and furnishings is what sets this home apart. The wide-plank, reclaimed hemlock wood floors are a marvel to behold. Each plank was hand crafted and secured with large iron nails. With the first step into this home, onto these floors, you know the home is special. The main living area is grand. Soaring ceilings offer extraordinary light and air. The home exudes warmth and a connection to the outdoors. The combination of stone, woodwork and open space is reminiscent of homes typically found in Sun Valley, Aspen or Lake Tahoe.
