This custom-built, late mid-century modern home and guest house are perched on a dramatic bluff, offering sweeping, panoramic views that stretch across two states. The primary three-bedroom home and 855-square-foot guest house are designed in distinctive octagonal shapes, maximizing the magnificent views of the river's ever-changing activity, the peaceful landscape, and the wildlife that calls this area home.

Inside, the home exudes a quiet elegance, with an open, artful design that seamlessly blends comfort with a refined aesthetic. Every corner of this one-of-a-kind property invites you to unwind and enjoy its unique ambiance. Set on three acres of professionally landscaped grounds, you'll discover a peaceful walking path, a tranquil waterfall, and stone patios perfect for hosting guests or simply basking in the beauty of your surroundings. The homes' striking architecture is built to last, with a steel and wooden post-and-beam system that combines strength and beauty. Natural-cut stone adorns both the interior and exterior walls, harmonizing perfectly with the environment. A wood-burning fireplace, crafted from brass and stainless steel and imported from France, serves as a focal point of the living room. For added convenience and privacy, the property includes a three-car garage and a secure gated entry.
