This Ranch style home is the retirement dream of our clients. After a lifetime of moving for work this will be a place to put down roots and spend the rest of their lives. This hobby farm ranch was to be a single storey with every room to have views of the gardens, horse paddocks, stables, barns or the grand openness of ‘The Estate’ as our client calls it. They were looking for a bungalow, to entertain in, make family and friends feel like home, house and extensive library, woodshop and an Olympic length lap pool. The exterior was to look like it had been born of the environment it was situated on and had been sitting for 100’s of years. Rustic materials coupled with traditional lines and high roofs are used to exaggerate the scale of this home.Local rough quarried stone is coupled with clinker brick, cedar shake roofs, rough sawn fascia and raw copper. All accented with polished keystones, window and door sills. Creating a warm and rich anchor to the lot. Grand yet inviting. Rustic yet refined in proportion and detail.
