Property Description
A One-of-a-Kind Hilltop Retreat, Handcrafted by a Master Stonemason Perched above the valley with views that simply aren't available anywhere else in the area, this five-bedroom home was built stone by stone by a master German mason — and that craftsmanship remains the heart of the house today. Over the years, the home has been thoughtfully updated and modernized throughout, while the original stonework — the archways, the exterior, the bones of the home — has been preserved exactly as it was built to last. Step inside and the stonework tells the story: sweeping arched doorways connect room to room across the main level, framed in the same coursed stone that wraps the exterior. Two generous living areas — one anchored by a stone fireplace — offer real space to gather, while the layout's flow and vaulted ceilings give the home an openness that feels far larger than the square footage suggests. Downstairs, the entertaining continues in a finished lower level built around a handcrafted stone bar, laid by hand using river rock sourced locally — a rustic counterpoint to the refined stonework above, and a true one-of-one feature. A dedicated workout room and sauna, wrapped in wall-to-wall windows and skylights, bring the outdoors in and turn a daily routine into something worth looking forward to. But the real draw is what's outside. Set on a hilltop lot with sweeping, unobstructed views of the surrounding hills and treeline, this property offers a sense of seclusion and quiet that's genuinely rare this close to everything else — a private escape rather than another house on another street. A covered stone patio and an elevated deck let you take it all in, morning or evening, from multiple vantage points around the property. This is a home where the irreplaceable work — the mason's stonework and the structure it's built on — is already done, and decades of updates mean it's move-in ready today. What's left is the fun part: the finishing touches that let a new owner make it entirely their own. For a buyer who wants real craftsmanship, real character, and a view this good, that combination doesn't come along often.
