Around the Property

Nestled in at the base of the mountain on the edge of the river valley, this property sits quiet and isolated. Largely protected from weather by the ridge at its back, it is often spared from the force of major storms. The landscape changes noticeably from the top of the mountain and becomes more welcoming on the descent. Down here, the trees, shrubs, and groundcover are more numerous and varied. Standing in the woods feels like an embrace. The deep topsoil is rich, nurturing; it supports delicate flowers from spring through fall. The sun falls dappled across the terrain as it penetrates the foliage, delighting the eye with intricate patterns of bright light and blue shadows. Along the river, expanses of thin, straight, tall trees with silver skin stand like a maze and recall the paintings of Gustav Klimt.

The area immediately surrounding this property is an ever-changing array of landscape paintings, a delight to the astute, sensitive observer. This collection of photos shows a small number of them.
