The perfect residence for the woodworker, boater and artist. A totally unique combination of timber-framed residential elegance and a superb location on the lushly-wooded bluffs above your deep-water dock (a protected tributary of Beard's Creek!) The home is a tribute to the skills of the current owner, a reknowned furniture maker and woodworker. The 3.5+ acre estate is private & resplendent with mature hardwoods and has a number of beautiful outbuildings, capped by a huge ( 24'10''x 48'6'' ) barn/workshop with a loft and multiple entrance bays. Perfect for any project or garage need, its a convenient corollary to the house, mere steps away. Wander down the winding drive to the pier, past the 10'2 x 10'2 studio and the 12'4 x 20' wood/storage shed and you'll arrive at a snug harbor on the creek, boasting approx. 5' water depth (subject to sounding).
The home itself is a work of art in itself! With most of the wood used in its construction cut from the surrounding property itself, its wonderful to imagine the sturdy posts having been trees growing on the original tract. The timber frame construction has SIPS panels surrounding it for the ultimate in insulating value. A metal roof and rustic pine siding completes a picture of harmony with the environment. The house is of such efficient design that the home is cooled by a single wall air conditioner, the heating by water radiators (and wood stove) A gas boiler heats the domestic hot water as well as that for the radiators. The soaring space inside the home is breathtaking! A wall of glass on the north wall promises great light without overheating the interior and the upstairs bedroom/loft makes for a private space while still remaining open to the great room area. Custom everything, most components constructed on site. Don't miss an opportunity like this one! Anyone with vision,taste, and a love of Mother Nature will fall in love with this rare offering full of detail and whimsy. Over 484' of gorgeous water frontage!
