Originally erected in the 1700s as a humble log cabin, this residence has undergone breathtaking transformations, culminating in a harmonious blend of rustic allure and contemporary elegance. The heart of the home resides within its expansive kitchen and soaring two-story great room. A barn, meticulously dismantled and strategically repositioned throughout, lends its historic essence to the residence, infusing it with timeless character.

Adjacent, the open dining area invites gatherings bathed in natural light, effortlessly connecting to the living room and a distinguished library and office space adorned with exposed beams and architectural lighting. The original log cabin, with an original stone fireplace, seamlessly integrated into the home, guides the way to a loft bedroom and en suite. A beautiful library/study, including another full bathroom sits adjacent to the log cabin. The first-floor master suite boasts a custom concrete fireplace and French doors opening to the terrace. The luxurious main bathroom, featuring an indulgent infinite-edge soaking tub and expansive picture window, ensures a constant connection to the breathtaking surroundings.
