The home itself is a rare blend of heritage charm and modern refinement. Painstakingly maintained and sensitively updated, it offers the conveniences of contemporary living while preserving the craftsmanship and character that make it truly unique.

Strategically positioned at the crest of a wooded ravine overlooking a tranquil pond, the pool sits within a sheltered terrace that captures all-day sun and panoramic views of The Beaver Valley. A robust stone wall defines the space—elegantly shielding it from the nearby historic roadway while also serving as a retaining structure and creating a warm, protected microclimate. A minimalist pergola of slender steel columns and Ipe wood casts light shade over the lounging terrace, while the cabana, complete with a two piece bathroom, bar sink and fridge —crafted with subtle architectural references to the nearby heritage home—features deep-set porches at either end, one for arrival and one for retreat. On the lower side of the pool, a sweeping stone wall curves with the contour of the land, providing enclosure while cleverly amplifying warmth to support a flourishing garden. This property is a masterclass in landscape and architectural integration—where views, privacy, heritage, and design come together in a setting that is as unique as it is unforgettable.
