    ESSENCE Live authentically. An artistic oasis. A palpable sense of immersing in nature. Live in a landscape painting. The farm to table lifestyle can be yours. Exceptional privacy. A glistening pond anchors your life in all seasons. Serene in summer, skate-ready in winter, and ideal for fishing or keeping waterfowl. The aesthetic of the Highline Trail right out your back door. Curated native plantings thread through the surrounding forest, while the grounds beyond unfold into a series of distinctive garden "rooms", anchored by a classic English garden at the home's edge. A small orchard yields European and Asian pears, Arkansas black apples, jujube, purple plums, and a magnificent, prolific chestnut. Elsewhere, the landscape boasts pawpaws, serviceberries and blueberries along with numerous dogwoods, redbuds, sugar maples, sourwoods, spicebush, and sweetbay magnolias. Step inside and experience the calming nature of white walls and glass. Expansive windows draw the lush forest indoors. Wide-plank floors, sundrenched loft style flex spaces, and an architectural curved stair. Huge ground-floor Freedom Room with 10’ ceiling, walk-in shower, built-in Swedish ladder. Ideal for a home gym or an artist studio. A rare offering for those seeking natural splendor and refined country living. Whole house renovation in 2007. Cultivate your existence.
