About this home

A Mountain Legacy Estate — Built Without Compromise Once a private holiday retreat commissioned by a jet-set original owner, this over 1/2-acre mountain estate is a genuine architectural time capsule — a home where craftsmanship, not cost, dictated every decision, and where nothing has been diminished by decades of piecemeal renovation. The great room soars to a 32-foot vaulted, unfinished pine ceiling, anchored by a freestanding wood stove and open loft. Underfoot, 1.25" Georgia oak flooring is said — as family legend holds — to have been milled from the salvaged sawmill building from the 1790s that built the USS Constitution's keel. Every room carries the same unmistakable hand: custom-fitted knotty pine throughout, built-in library shelving, a chalet-inspired A-frame, and a garden-style primary bath crowned by an arched greenhouse window. ~ Thirty windows are dressed uniformly in matching designer blinds, with the same coordinated floral fabric carried from the sunroom valances to the couch upholstery, the window seat cushions, and the kitchen table chairs — a level of coordinated design intent rarely found intact after 30+ years. The estate offers exceptional flexibility for multi-generational living or guests: a private guest suite above the garage with its own entrance, kitchenette, and bath, plus a second lower-level suite with private entrance, wet bar, and bath — together offering near-triplex versatility that when all opened up together create the ultimate luxury mountain estate. Practical luxury matches the aesthetic: a 24kW Generac whole-home generator, a three-car garage finished in redwood cabinetry, and a California Closets-designed primary suite closet. This is not a house that was updated. It is a house that was finished correctly — and has simply been loved ever since.
