Architect's Sustainable Masterpiece High Above Farmington Valley

A dramatic, one-owner, architect-designed and occupied home with unparalleled attention to quality, detail, and sustainability evident throughout. Sited high on Ridge Road with timeless views to the south and west, this EPA Energy Star Certified residence spans three contiguous parcels totaling 49.37 acres, offering both privacy and endless possibilities.

Natural light floods every corner of this 5,622-square-foot masterpiece through custom Zeluck windows and skylights, enhanced by the open design centered around a two-story atrium with native granite fireplace. The chef’s eat-in kitchen showcases marble and granite counters with custom birdseye maple cabinets accented by purple heart trim, while the living spaces feature three fireplaces, German limestone flooring, and native cherry floors with purple heart inlay.

The home’s sustainable features are extraordinary: five-zone geothermal heating and cooling, south-facing passive solar design, organic landscaping, and a separate EPA Energy Star studio/office with its own geothermal system. The second level includes a primary suite with fireplace and German limestone bath, plus a library with spiral staircase to the dramatic tower room offering panoramic valley views.

More Details

Words can’t do justice to this unique home’s exceptional craftsmanship. Every surface tells a story—from cork flooring in the atrium to German limestone in the primary bath, Brazilian slate to native cherry floors with purple heart inlay. The separate studio/office connects via breezeway, featuring vaulted ceilings, its own geothermal heat pump, and five CAT5 workstations ideal for remote work or artistic pursuits.

The property’s 49 acres include a level lawn and garden area, well-maintained hiking trails through mixed hardwoods, and a brook near the eastern boundary. With both properties fully accessible for persons with disabilities, plus plumbing for additional baths and a basement kitchen, this estate offers remarkable flexibility. The seller will also consider selling the residence on 10.93 acres, excluding the 38-acre woodlot.
