Stunning Modernist Villa with Panoramic Views. Featured in Architectural Digest in August 2007, this dramatic property sits on a hillside with some of the most sweeping and magical views of Lake Waramaug. It was designed by award-winning architect Steven F. Haas and is situated on 18+/- beautifully landscaped acres, romantically designed by the well-known landscape designer Renny Reynolds with a view reminiscent of the French alps. Everything about the five-bedroom, five full and three half-bath house was designed to bring the light inside with the gardens and magnificent views beyond. The house is organized on either side of a wide barrel-vaulted, glass ceilinged walkway. On both sides of this walkway are generously proportioned rooms with high ceilings, most of which have limestone flooring, mahogany ceilings and floor-to-ceiling mahogany framed "window walls" that open to the outdoors. The first-floor primary suite is privately located with its own terrace overlooking the lake. All of this combines to create a continuity of unique and beautiful materials combining to achieve the overall effect that the outdoors is inside, with light streaming from all sides and above. This extraordinary estate consists of not only the strikingly unique main house but also an architecturally stunning pool, reflecting pool, formal gardens, cutting and vegetable gardens & complementary guest house. A true modern masterpiece. Included in the 18-acre offering is a separate 7+/- acre parcel.
