Property Description
Rare opportunity to own a custom-built mountaintop retreat inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright. This extraordinary home was thoughtfully designed to harmonize with its natural surroundings. Set on over two peaceful acres in the Candlewood Lake area, this distinctive property offers a rare blend of refined craftsmanship, rustic beauty, and complete privacy, yet is less than two minutes from the boat marina and just 90 minutes from NYC. The true showpiece is the impressive 49' x 22' two-story barn/workshop, an exceptional space for car collectors, woodworkers, artists, hobbyists, or a home-based business. Built in 2005, it features separate electrical service, an oversized four-bay garage, propane heat, a drive-up second-floor workshop with an office and loft, with endless possibilities for work, recreation, or storage. Inside, the home showcases custom millwork, locally sourced wood, radiant-heated floors, central air, dramatic stone fireplace, and soaring vaulted ceilings. The versatile main level includes a bedroom with dedicated walk-in closet and full bath, home office, and multiple living areas, offering an opportunity for multi-generational living. The 2019 addition of the upper levels include the spacious primary suite provides a peaceful private retreat, while an oversized walk-up attic offers additional space for a studio, recreation, or storage. Ideal as a full-time residence or weekend lake retreat, this is far more than a home, it is a lifestyle property. Major renovation with addition in 2019 - include the second and third level - 3 additional BR's and a walk up attic. Also a 50-year metal roof, Red Cedar siding, Thermopane windows, low-VOC finishes, and generator wiring. Mature hardwood trees provide cool summer shade, while the elevated setting offers beautiful seasonal views and abundant natural light through expansive glass. A welcoming front porch and abundant parking accommodates vehicles, boats, RVs, and recreational equipment.
