About this home

Imagine arriving after a long week to a mountain retreat that's already ready for you. Located on Lantz Mountain, this contemporary home overlooks Monterey Mountain, w/winter views of The Blue Grass Valley & Hightown. Heart pine quarter-sawn floors, Andersen casement windows, a Danish Rais wood stove, & a poplar-floored loft office (reached by a rolling library ladder) set a tone of quiet, considered design. Solar shades soften the light across the living area's mountain-facing wall, & museum-quality lighting brings a gentle glow to the art & sculpture tucked throughout. The house holds a steady 66° on its own, no fuss required, w/a mini-split on hand if you want it. Water is spring-fed w/whole-house filtration plus RO at the kitchen sink, & the crawl space is sealed with a 12-mil membrane. Step outside to an outdoor shower & a shaded deck under a powered awning, beneath a snap-lock metal roof built to weather the seasons. A second building offers workshop & studio space w/its own greenhouse & wood stove; another hold dry-goods storage while a firewood shed houses a diesel backup generator for the garage/shop/studio. Every system is already in place, so all that's left to do is show up & stay awhile.
