Set in rolling hills above Vintin Creek with views in all directions, this welcoming home on 27+ acres offers a rare combination of artistry, functionality & a deep sense of connection with the surrounding landscape. With rustic, understated elegance, every detail is a testament to the craft of local builder Jim Gerlach. Custom layout includes two bedroom suites (one a full studio apartment) & a flexible daylight basement that serves as a bedroom if desired. Kitchen & great-room with large river rock fireplace are the heart of the home, with an office/sitting area just to the side. Artistic bathrooms, abundant storage, windows perfectly framing the views in every direction, custom copper & wood details, central laundry area, attached 2-car garage, 1440 sf shop & a hot tub under the stars are just a few of the many pleasing and practical details. The grounds are designed to take full advantage of the setting - starting with the wraparound porch from which to enjoy every angle of light and beautiful mountain & valley views, through the whimsical winding gardens, & extending out through mature pines to an overlook of the Methow River. The outbuildings include a huge shop; a smaller shop/greenhouse that could be converted into a delightful bunkhouse or ADU; and a unique hangout complete with power, fire pit, & deck to enjoy the surrounding scenery. Here you will find serenity both on the land and in the home. Come check it out and enjoy - we think you’ll want to stay!
