property description | top
Starlight Retreat offers a mountain hideaway experience like no other. The compound consists of two homes, sharing 50 forested acres. The homes are around 100 yards apart, with good visual privacy from each other. There are well-defined hiking trails throughout the property. Driveway to house is steep, narrow and long, but in good condition.
Starlight is a contemporary home, once featured in Architectural Digest, custom-designed with unique and luxurious materials. From the entry hall, the semi-formal dining room seats eight, opens to a large deck with outdoor dining, and is partially open to the sunken living room. The kitchen is immediately adjacent, with a small breakfast nook overlooking the living room. A short hall leads to two bedrooms, with adjoining door between. Upstairs, there's a loft office area and an enclosed master bedroom suite, both with access to a deck, and a ladder/stair to a rooftop loft bedroom (with the best view in the house). A large front porch runs the length of the house, leading to a set of steps to the hillside hot tub. Close to the house, there's a detatched game room.
Starbright (~2200sf) is a former barn, converted to a spacious, high-end open-space plan featuring exotic art and artifacts from all over the world. The great room has three areas, one centered on the television with a queen sleeper, one centered on the woodstove, and another centered on a large dining set for formal dining, all open to the kitchen. Off the main living space, there's a short hall with a half bath, a full bath, and three bedrooms*. At the rear of the house, there's a hot tub on deck.
