In Tune with Nature, this is a true retreat to nature and serenity where the balance of nature has been treated with care and respect. A long driveway through hardwood forest leads you to this light, airy destination offering a peaceful Asian feel. Turn the key, step into the foyer, and notice the attention to detail evident throughout this well-crafted, beautifully sited home nestled in the gently rolling hills just along the CT border. Every room invites you to step outdoors, no matter the season. In warm weather, experience the serenity of swimming in your own spring-fed pond, dine outdoors in your curtain-screened gazebo, grill out on your private bluestone patio, or just sit back and listen to the ever-present sound of birds, breezes and water flowing gently through this 28.1 acre property. Relax outdoors in the evenings and be entertained by the firefly display. In the Winter, cozy up before the fireplace, or be warmed by one of two wood-stoves while you contemplate the ever-changing ice sculptures Nature creates with your waterfalls. The kitchen and 3 full bathrooms are classic and as current as anything new on the market. The kitchen is modern, clean-lined and efficient. The main bedroom opens on three sides to the rear deck. Shoji screens handcrafted by master Hisao Hanafusa allow light while providing privacy. The family room converts to a second bedroom with a hidden bunk bed system and includes a top of the line Iyengar rope wall. The separate two car garage also has one finished, bamboo-floored hobby room, office or exercise space. From the traditional Wara Juraku sand stucco exterior wall finish to re-purposed trees supporting a wide overhanging roof, nature is reflected throughout this very private property that must be experienced to appreciate all that it offers. The owner has protected and kept this ecosystem free from all pesticides and fertilizers for two decades, creating a healthier environment for humans and other animal life. For the discerning buyer, this is a true private spa just minutes from the Wassaic train station and the Village of Kent, CT. Conservation easement on front 5 acres. Installed are a Nest System, radiant heated bamboo, ceramic and slate floors.
