This stunning Brown County ridgetop home harmonizes with its natural setting through imaginative contemporary design paired with a beautiful nod to more rustic homes of the past. Accessed by a half-mile private drive through the Hoosier National Forest, the 8+ acre property features lovely vistas, varied yet walkable terrain, & the comforting feeling of being surrounded by woods. The varied masses of the exterior of the home, featuring a standing-seam metal roof, wood siding, & rustic Brown County stone details, sets the tone even before entering the home. The soaring Great Room addition, with its wood-burning fireplace & dramatic roof timbers, seems suspended in the treetops; it connects through a glassed-in Sky Walk to the spacious main portion of the home. High12-foot ceilings lend an airy feel to the elegant dining room, cook's kitchen with quartz countertops & stainless appliances, & two main-floor bedrooms opening to a private deck. An additional spacious room (currently used as a bedroom for grandkids), the Den/Library with gorgeous views of the meadow to the rear, a full bath, & a large screened porch, round out the main floor. Upstairs, there are two large bedroom & bath suites, a cozy reading nook, & a large walk-in storage closet. The walkout basement level below the Great Room addition includes another secluded bedroom & a luxurious bath, as well as commodious storage closets. This wonderful family home can accommodate multiple generations to foster a lifetime of memories of togetherness, but still allows privacy & cozy "hang-out" areas. The views of meadows, woods, & ravines from two decks, the screened porch, & the Great Room balcony complete your outdoor retreat experience. The pergola-capped patio below the rear deck is your jumping off point to explore the grounds; after a day spent enjoying the natural surroundings, be sure to savor the large outdoor shower (with hot water!). Perfect for a family getaway, or telecommuter's dream primary home!
