If Gatsby ditched the Hamptons for the countryside, this would be his dream home. Designed by a legendary barn builder, this stunner blends rustic charm with modern luxury—think soaring beams, a showstopping stone fireplace, and views that stretch for days. Bonus: a wine cellar and fenced orchard!

Constructed by master Barn builder, Ed Cady, this is one of his finest collaborations. The impressive structure takes in distant VIEWS to the south and west and is sited perfectly to relate to the landscape, pool, pond, and surrounding countryside. The great room features a massive two-sided stone fireplace, dramatic vaulted ceiling, 9 ft custom barn doors, and floor to ceiling windows. The gourmet kitchen walks out to a covered porch for dining and relaxing with a stunning view of endless rolling mountians. Upstairs, we find the primary suite with walk in closet and bathroom with radiant heat and steam shower. Cross the open hallway past the reading/office nook to enter a two bedroom wing with its own central media room/playroom. The walkout lower level incorporates guest space with two bedrooms, game room, wine cellar, kitchenette/cabana. The entire home impresses with the use of hand hewn beams, wide plank antique oak or reclaimed slate flooring, siding from a Rhode Island tobacco barn and six stone or antique brick fireplaces (all with gas starters). The oversized three car garage has a workshop/storage area and Tesla hookup. The extensive luxury features allow you to live in a modern house with the charm, feeling, and patina of something older. The current owner created additional privacy by purchasing the house next door and tearing it down, planting a fenced orchard in its place.
