About the property

ZEN MEETS LUXURY: A Japanese Inspired Contemporary Architectural Masterpiece with a Private Studio Guest House and Serene Tea-House!
Welcome to a truly exceptional custom design and build. Every line, finish, and transition has been thoughtfully composed to create a private sanctuary that feels both refined and deeply grounded in nature. ||
FROM THE MOMENT YOU ARRIVE, the home makes an unforgettable impression. The handmade steel double-entry door with custom artistic detailing sets the tone for the craftsmanship within, while expansive (Hurricane rated) windows, covered wraparound porches, and warm natural materials invite light, air and landscape into the daily experience of the home. Saltillo tiled Genkan entries, red oak floors, craftsman-style pine trim, and a dramatic tongue-and-groove ceiling, with architectural wave design, create warmth and visual rhythm. Arranged to evoke local constellations, recessed pin lights add celestial details that elevate the living experience while disappearing seamlessly when turned off.
The kitchen is both functional and sculptural, featuring solid cherry floating shelves, custom hardwood cabinets, concrete countertops and a hickory island from hurricane Florence-felled trees. The minimalist guest bath continues the home's aesthetic as a fully tiled wet-room with polished pebble flooring, a rain shower, and sleek wall-mounted fixtures. ||
UPPER LEVEL: PRIMARY SUITE AND 2 GUEST RETREATS - The primary suite is a private wooded escape flooded with expansive windows that perfectly frames the surrounding foliage flowing directly out to the covered porch. Spa with a zero-entry layout of polished river pebbles provides a therapeutic foot massage, large pebble wall and tile surround for a stone-cavern aesthetic. Floating hickory vanity with suspended wood shelving and natural stone vessels.
The hall bath balances moody dark natural materials with crisp white fixtures creating a striking, high contrast for the Yin and Yang balance. || STUDIO GUEST HOUSE - The private entry studio guest house adds exceptional flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, creative work or private retreat space, with multi-use room, kitchenette equipped with appliances, live-edge hickory countertop and custom hardwood cabinetry. Spa with rustic warm earth tones and organic textures. Oak walk-in closet and private deck overlooking native wildlife habitat gardens. ||
JAPANESE-STYLE TEA-HOUSE -
A separate Japanese-style Tea-House offers a quiet minimalist sanctuary with forest views and an iconic circular window that frames the gardens and feels like living art.
***EXTERIOR STRUCTURE AND SYSTEMS***

WHY THIS HOME STANDS APART***
