With bones carved from European timber and a soul steeped in stone, this $17,950,000 estate offers 8,372 square feet of architectural gravitas and lived-in luxury. Six bedrooms, six full baths, and two half baths are arranged across rooms that feel both expansive and intimate—each one grounded in hand-hewn beams salvaged from a 300-year-old barn, anchored by five fireplaces, and finished with Santa Rita stone and mahogany doors that age beautifully with time.
Every detail has intention: a chef’s kitchen made for movement, a walk-in pantry tucked for quiet function, and a family room with a wet bar that eases into the outdoors like conversation at dusk. Formal rooms offer a sense of occasion without demanding it; informal spaces embrace you with unspoken ease.
The primary suite brings the comfort of a private resort—its own balcony, a steam shower, and a soaking tub designed more for ritual than routine. Above it all, a newly renovated third-floor studio stretches out as guest haven or creative retreat, complete with its own kitchen and bath.
This is a house built to last, but more importantly, built to live in.
