SPECTACULAR MODERN HOUSE HAS BREATHTAKING 360° VIEWS AND LUSH GARDENS. This trophy property, featured in five books and 18 magazines, is expertly designed to showcase views of unspoiled mountains, valleys, and Indian Lake. Set on 33 completely private acres, this 5- bedroom, 5-bath home has renowned gardens, a Gunite pool, and 700 feet of lake frontage. A long entry drive through a mature apple orchard leads to a compound composed of the main house, a guest house with a full bath, and a greenhouse. The main house is entered through a 3’ thick exquisitely designed stone wall that opens into a skylighted entry hall. The first floor has an open design flow from dining to kitchen and living spaces and a workspace. Some of the features include a mortise and tenon timber frame that highlights the dining room, a spacious living room with a stone Rumford fireplace, a chef’s kitchen with top of the line appliances that opens into a screened-in porch in the summer that converts to a sunroom warmed by another stone fireplace in winter. All rooms have expansive views. A full bath and a sky-lit office that can be converted to a bedroom complete the main level. The second level has three bedrooms with extensive views and beautifully appointed en-suite bathrooms. A third level tower room offers sweeping views and a built-in day bed. Outside, the exquisite gardens are of such unusual beauty that they have been featured in Martha Stewart Living, Fine Gardening and Gardens Illustrated among other magazines. They are planted with native perennials and grasses punctuated by tall evergreens that provide mystery and structure. There is a pool garden, a rill garden, a garden of solar panels, and even a secret garden, plus a wooded path down to the private dock on Indian Lake. The home’s advanced green engineering and solar power make it environmentally sustainable. This hilltop house and gardens are filled with many other exceptional features and custom details that must be seen to be appreciated.
