Property Description
RESIDENCE
Sited on a bluff about two thirds of the way up Red Oak Mountain, the residence was created in 2023 by a noted architect as a retreat for his own family. The house is a sleek modern space designed to showcase the woodland landscape in all directions. Soothing interiors in neutral colors allow the dramatic wood grain of the hand-selected douglas fir trim to take pride of place. Modernist architecture with zen like placement of elements make this a calming retreat from the world. Large windows and high ceilings in all rooms bring the views and allow light to flood each space. The effect is a light and airy open living space in all rooms.
Views of Bessie Bell Mountain and the surrounding countryside are visible in the winter months, but the rest of the year the house is enveloped in a wall of greenery cascading up and down the mountain. Rocky outcroppings at the house site have been incorporated into the landscape design and provide a focal point for the house entry way. On the back side of the house the dramatic floor to ceiling windows overlook a small valley with forested hillsides and mountains beyond. The house is an extremely private oasis of calm. Inside, carefully selected luxury finishes and energy efficient appliances and heating and cooling (including raidant heat in all floors) provide a sustainable living experience at the highest quality.
GROUNDS
The magic of Red Mountain Retreat is the utter privacy of the place. While the architecture blends seamlessly with the landscape, the mountainside is its own captivating source of pleasure. Old logging trails radiating from the house site allow for comfortable access to the mountain above and below. A trail near the property entrance follows along a streambed through the woodlands. There's a lot to explore and absorb.
