Welcome to this extraordinary, artist built timber frame retreat just moments from Taughannock Falls State Park. Designed and handcrafted with intention, this home is a striking blend of structural artistry, natural materials, and architectural flair. A dramatic turret anchors the design, crowned by a breathtaking spiral staircase wrapped around a 50 foot cherry tree trunk. The banister, formed from a living green vine and secured with hand forged fasteners, is a true conversation piece. The great room soars beneath exposed timber beams, stained glass accents, and a commanding marble fireplace that creates both warmth and drama. Rich oak floors run throughout, including the eat in kitchen with custom cherry cabinetry and concrete countertops, thoughtfully designed to complement the homes organic aesthetic. Upstairs, the primary suite is filled with natural light and features expansive windows, a stone surround walk in shower, dual vanities, and a spacious walk in closet. Step outside to a covered gazebo just off the kitchen, ideal for quiet mornings or evening gatherings. A handcrafted stone water garden, home to goldfish and frogs, enhances the peaceful setting. The wood fired pizza oven invites effortless entertaining. The two story timber framed studio is a rare and inspiring addition, complete with electricity, water, exceptional natural light, and double doors opening to a private deck. Perfect as an artists studio, guest quarters, home office, yoga space, or potential accessory apartment. Additional outbuildings provide ample space for vehicles and storage. Located across from Taughannock Creek with opportunities for swimming and fishing, and just 20 minutes to downtown Ithaca and Cornell University, this one of a kind property offers privacy, creativity, and craftsmanship in an unforgettable setting. This is more than a home. It is structural art you can live in.
