Imagine feeling as if there are no barriers between your house and the natural world a seamless flow from the heart of the home to the heart of nature. Visionary architect Travis Price designed Tree House not to dominate and claim but to respect and co-exist. The house rests lightly in its space. Surrounding it are 17 wooded acres, a natural sun-kissed meadow, two ponds connected by a water passage with footbridge. Natural steps and path made of sedimentary rock from the property circle a gently landscaped rock garden on the hillside beside Tree House. Every side of the house is more glass than wall and every room opens onto decking that circles the home both upstairs and down. As you enter, the kitchen draws you in by virtue of an angled countertop and the invitation of light and space beyond. The first floor flows in a circle and includes combined kitchen-dining room, large living room with fireplace, and a full bath. Upstairs, primary suite and three additional bedrooms look out on trees and sky and invite air and light through endless sliding doors and windows. The sunrise over the pond is visible from the primary bedroom, and a nearby section of deck extends like a pier for meditation, yoga, or simply to feel like you're floating above the world. The decking circles the home with access to views in all directions and is built to honor the shape of the landscape. The deck railing is minimalistic with safety glass doing most of the work in certain sections to protect from long drops without blocking the view. The exterior is built of cedar and roof overhangs are clad with copper. Set on a one-lane unpaved road maintained by the town, Tree House is completely hidden from Woodstock Road, but a mere 2 ½ miles from Millbrook's dining and shopping scene. 24 hour notice required for accompanied showings.
