'Be One with Nature' - Tranquil, restorative, and private, this stunning 11 acre retreat in Rhinebeck, NY, embraces the aesthetic and landscape of an authentic Japanese house. Beautifully sited, the home is a viewing platform for the breathtaking traditional gardens, including waterfalls, walking bridges, a raked (Karesansui) dry entrance garden, stroll gardens, and a spring-fed koi pond with a turtle island. A natural paradise like no other. Built in the modern Sukiya-zukuri architectural style with Yukimi shojis and Tatami room. The 3 BR house was designed by a Kyoto architect, who worked on the restoration of Katsura Rikyu, using many Japanese master craftsmen. Every element of the meticulous construction was handpicked and custom-made, incorporating beautiful natural woods and materials, many imported from Japan. The beauty lies in its clean, uncluttered look, and the seamless relationship between house and garden. There's also a detached 2-car heated garage with a second floor for guest or caretaker quarters. A perfect masterpiece. Featured in Architectural Digest.
