Turn-Key, One of One in Big Canoe: Idyll Hour on Petit Creek Inspired by architect Sarah Susanka’s book The Not So Big House and completed in August of 2025, this single-level retreat proves that ease of living is entirely a matter of proportion, offering the rare combination of a completely flat creek-front lot and seamless, no-stairs living. Idyll Hour is a fully custom, turn-key residence offered complete with designer-curated finishes and furnishings. By prioritizing exceptional execution and quality over raw square footage, it strikes a perfect balance between intentional simplicity and understated luxury—all deeply connected to the surrounding nature. Flat Creekfront Living Situated on a level 0.8-acre parcel bordering protected green space, the property offers the year-round sound of Petit Creek completely outside the floodplain. This rare flat lot serves as a private gateway to the Indian Rocks trail and Lake Petit, accessed via an effortless pull-through drive and a two-car carport pre-wired for EV charging with a large storage suite. A High-Functioning Footprint Inside, wide-plank white oak floors, a mahogany entry door, and unlacquered brass hardware establish a premium tactile experience. Designed for effortless entertaining, the kitchen features an oversized honed stone island under 10-foot ceilings, robust cedar beams, a minibar niche, and a hidden pantry/laundry room. The home’s vaulted center features a double-sided stone fireplace and 12-foot sliding glass doors that open to a large screen room/sleeping porch and an outdoor grilling deck. Private retreats include a primary suite with an 8-foot floating vanity and smart bidet, alongside an equally detailed guest suite. High-Performance Infrastructure Behind the walls, the home utilizes premium, high-efficiency mechanical systems for year-round comfort: HVAC: A high-efficiency Trane gas furnace, chosen specifically to deliver immediate warmth in the mountain climate where standard heat pumps struggle. Climate Control: An integrated whole-house dehumidifier keeps the interior perfectly balanced. Lighting: Energy-efficient LED lighting with integrated dimmers throughout to easily set the evening mood. Utilities: A buried propane tank services the kitchen and fireplace, with an additional gas connection running directly to the deck for grill and firepit hook-ups. Idyll Hour removes the complexity of building and interiors, offering a perfectly scaled, masterfully finished home where everything has already been considered. It is a definitive statement on a better way to live: completely turn-key, masterfully proportioned, and entirely at one with the land.
