Lavish with local stone and native wood, this house reflects the tranquil and unfettered felling afforded on this ranch of 5,000 acres.
Springing from the humble roots of the original ranch dwelling, the new construction wraps itself around the older home, allowing for the addition of practical areas for a growing family.
The entire remaining home was updated; existing and new finishes were playfully integrated. Sometimes the old surfaces were updated to look new, other times the new surfaces were detailed to appear to be of another era.
The result is a home that, while not austere, maintains a sense of gracious simplicity.
