Imagine stone pillars mark the entrance and a long, gravel drive winds around rolling hills with outcroppings of boulders and manaqured lawns. As the house on the knoll comes into view, it feels as if it is thousands of miles away. Not a country home, it looks more like an aging villa in the hills of Italy or a chateau in the south of France, one that wraps around the circular drive embracing family and guests.
Stone dots the stucco exterior as though the years have worn it away—an aura of grandness from the past prevails, denying the newness. There is a small cottage on the far side of the circular drive, a guest house.
Imagine islands of deep green dot the rolling hills, putting greens. A custom home can be your personal resort for you, your family and your friends. Hospitable double doors open wide in a friendly greeting. Earthly and elegant, slate floors in swirls and patches of rusty brown and char define the entrace.
Coal gray floors cover the entry. Not only confined to the exterior, stone gray floors also defins the foyer with an arch opening into the adjacent dining room on the right.
Your home can be harmoniously sited on a hill, the house repeats the flow of the view. From the foyer, the rooms connect, one after another—no long hallways. The living room is directly across from the foyer with an expanse of windows overlooking the river, a bar to the left and a massive stone fireplace also opens to a casual family dining room on the other side of this stone wall.
The house bends south and west, just like the view, and opens into the gathering room, an expansive space with a kitchen, another fireplace surrounded by ample seating, a turret extending outward for a panoramic view of the mountains.
This can be your home by getting a custom builder.
