Set on a private, wooded peninsula-like lakefront property on Candlewood Lake, this architect-designed modern residence combines natural materials, clean architectural lines and expansive glass to create a seamless connection between interior and landscape. Approximately 90 minutes from New York City, the property offers exceptional privacy, extensive shoreline and panoramic views across the lake and surrounding woodland, with no neighboring homes visible from the principal shooting areas.
The main residence, featured in Dwell, combines an original mid-century modern lake house with a contemporary renovation and expansion. Cedar, weathered Corten steel and dark metal cladding define the exterior, while floor-to-ceiling glass, cathedral ceilings and open-plan interiors provide abundant natural light and strong architectural sightlines. Interiors feature warm wood tones, white walls, modern detailing and a curated mix of Scandinavian and iconic modern furnishings.
A separate award-winning architect-designed guest pavilion/ADU provides an additional contemporary environment, with full-height glazing, elevated lake views, a gym, office and guest accommodations.
The grounds offer numerous additional shooting locations, including landscaped gardens, terraces, mature trees, a private dock and boathouse with rooftop deck, cedar hot tub, small beach, woodland and extensive waterfront—allowing productions to capture modern architecture, interiors, lifestyle and natural settings within a single property.
The location is particularly well suited to furniture and interiors, home and lifestyle, fashion, automotive, advertising, editorial, film and television productions seeking a distinctive, high-end architectural setting with exceptional privacy and visual variety.
