Tucked away up a long private drive on 55 acres of pristine woods with a tax classification of Agriculture - Timber, this rustic contemporary retreat offers privacy, natural beauty, and architectural distinction. Designed in 1986 by renowned local architect Steve Miller, the home sits atop a high ridge top with peaceful views overlooking a private pond. Meandering trails weave throughout the property, inviting exploration of the surrounding forest. A detached two-car garage provides convenience and storage, while the home itself unfolds with thoughtful spaces designed for both creativity and comfort. Inside, the main level features a spacious great room with hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, and a woodstove with a multicolored brick hearth. It also features a recently remodeled kitchen, dining area, and a cozy private den for reading, relaxing, or watching TV. A screened porch extends the living space outdoors, offering a tranquil setting to enjoy the sights and sounds of nature and just steps to an open grilling deck. Also on the main level is a large art studio-accessible from both the interior and a private exterior entrance-perfect for creative pursuits or easily adaptable for other uses such as a large primary bedroom, a home office, large family/rec room, etc. A bedroom completes the main floor, while upstairs, you'll find the primary bedroom with an adjoining loft sitting area overlooking the living space below and dramatic views of the property. The lower level offers yet another creative art studio, a family room with built-in storage, and laundry facilities, with walk-out access to the backyard.
