Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1997
We have loved every minute of living in this spectacular home in this extraordinary setting. This is an art lover's paradise and a wonderful safe place for children. Every day here has been more beautiful than the one before. We took great care to plan and design a home and work area that feels open, airy and special.
The Unique Benefits of this House
This special property was formerly the home and studio of a famous sculptor. The calm intimate sense of nature in this property and home gives us a feeling of purpose and beauty. Everyone who has visited or stayed here mentions the inspiration derived from being here.
