Reminiscent of a Central American gentleman’s villa, this extraordinary architect-designed residence is set on 53 private acres in Alton, approached by a long private drive through mature pines and opening to southwest mountain views. Inside, the home is rich with warmth, craftsmanship and character. The exceptional kitchen features extensive wood and custom cabinetry, while the dramatic main living room offers soaring volume, exposed timber, wide pine floors and abundant natural light. Multiple wood-burning stoves add both atmosphere and warmth throughout. Custom mahogany doors and windows, handcrafted stairs, exposed pine decking and substantial timber framing reinforce the architectural quality. A private study includes a sleeping loft, while the upper levels offer a library/office and a remarkable third-floor studio with approximately 14-foot vaulted ceilings and skylights. The top floor is already plumbed for an additional bathroom and may offer potential for additional bedrooms or living space, subject to buyer due diligence and required approvals. Below, the full basement has unusually high ceilings and connects to a two-level workshop, creating exciting possibilities for a wine cellar, tasting room, entertainment center, collection space or other specialty use. Private, distinctive and highly individual, 437 Avery Hill Road offers architecture, acreage and flexibility rarely found together in the Lakes Region. The setting is as memorable as the house itself, with a sense of privacy that is increasingly hard to find. The combination of acreage, architecture, mountain outlook and flexible interior spaces gives the property unusual range, whether envisioned as a full-time residence, creative retreat or legacy holding. Also available with neighboring 435 Avery Hill Road, creating the opportunity to assemble the entire 102-acre holding with two architect-designed residences and separate drives.
