The main house embodies the essence of a true retreat. At its heart is a renovated Scandinavian-inspired kitchen featuring a suite of top-of-the-line appliances, soapstone countertops, and a generous pantry. Just beyond, the dining room is framed by oversized windows that overlook the surrounding forest. The media room, wrapped in windows on three sides, is filled with natural light throughout the day. Anchored by a striking stone fireplace, the spacious living room includes a cozy bay-window reading nook and opens onto an expansive deck overlooking the Black River, creating a peaceful, treehouse-like setting.
The primary suite is a sanctuary, with a full roof deck offering 270-degree views that unfold across treetops and water. The spa-like bathroom pairs radiant heat flooring with a vintage claw-foot tub, a glass-enclosed shower, and a large window that overlooks the surrounding forest, inviting serene moments by day and starry, tranquil evenings by night. Two additional bedrooms share a well-appointed bathroom featuring a large shower and clean, modern finishes.
Stepping outdoors, the property reveals a captivating continuum of spaces designed for entertaining and introspective downtime. The guest house expands the compound's versatility with two generous bedrooms, a single bath and a charming wood burning stove surrounding a bright, spacious living area. A large deck extends outdoor living toward the pond and expansive lawn, creating an ideal setting for gatherings. A repurposed sauna with original wood-burning oven invites contemplation, yoga, or artistic practice, perched over a swimming pond that forms a picturesque counterpoint to the riverfront. Finally, a tennis court stands ready for informal matches, complemented by a storage shed for equipment and supplies.
The Black River itself separates the compound from town-owned land, ensuring an enduring sense of seclusion.

Mature trees and thoughtfully positioned plantings enhance the property's sense of seclusion, creating a peaceful setting that feels tucked away from the outside world.
