Tucked away on a private road in a very special area called Riverby and adjoining there is a 78+ acre parcel which is forever wild & for the use of all property owners. Additionally the area includes a mountain swimming hole. If you're looking for a place to call home within a community which values privacy and neighbors you'll love living here. This house was designed by long-time Woodstock resident architect Barry Price with the current owner. There are 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. It is a traditional post-and-beam, engineered by Habitat Post and Beam. The design reflects an Asian influence with large overhanging eaves shading the windows beneath. Of note is the absence of gutters, which are superfluous to this type of design. Each level of the house receives direct sunlight. The siding is pine stained a deep rose. On the main floor is a large great room affording views of the back and front sides of the house from one sitting area. Pocket-style doors are incorporated to minimize spacial interruption. The kitchen includes a Viking stove along with custom Korean-designed cabinetry. The floors are maple, pine, bamboo and slate. The house has three large, round windows framing the mountain views. On the third level is a cordoned loft with two skylights directly over the sleeping area. On the same level is the master bedroom, which includes a walk-in closet. The master bath consists of a bathing area with a separate toilet closet. You enter through the first level which is over 1,000 square feet of space currently used as a family room and could easily accommodate extra guests or even an in-house office.

There are decks off the living room and the main floor bedroom and a retractable awning to provide shade. The living room is spacious with it's 2 story high ceilings accented by the beautiful post and beam and architectural details. There's even a woodstove to take off the chill in the early fall and late winter.
