Welcome to your own forest sanctuary in the Sourland Mountains! A wood and steel cable bridge is a simple, yet striking, entry point to this modern, post-and-beam home designed by Norman F. Carver, Jr. From floor-to-ceiling windows, look out over the 10-acre forest beyond tiered Israeli limestone patios enveloped by natural boulders and landscape architect-designed gardens brimming with lush texture and continuous blooms. Relish the peace and quiet from the built-in hot tub or gather with friends around the firepit. Continue down to the fenced, raised garden to the left and a spring-fed pond to the right. A screened porch lets you remain immersed in the leafy surroundings even in wet weather, while a stone fireplace sets a cozy scene in the living room. A wine fridge handy to the dining area supplements the handsome kitchen?s Sub Zero. Just down the hall, past a study, is the breath-taking main suite upwardly expanded to feature sky-high clerestory windows. A custom walk-in closet and a marble and glass tile bathroom privately adjoin. Downstairs, a family room awash in natural light is a common space accessible to more bedrooms, one with wide sliders. A recent Stewardship Forest designation is set to lower the taxes on this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath retreat located on a private road just 2 miles from the high school, part of the Blue Ribbon Montgomery school system.
