Sargentville Residence

Rustic house with shingle siding in a wooded setting

This 5,600-square-foot residence is a true testament to craftsmanship and thoughtful design, blending seamlessly with its natural surroundings. Its Douglas fir framing is expertly constructed with traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery, reinforced by hand-forged iron bands that add both strength and timeless character. Materials sourced directly from the site—granite and oak—were thoughtfully incorporated into the construction, ensuring the home feels like an organic extension of the landscape. The property is surrounded by unique and functional elements, including two stunning bridges that span adjacent ravines, a charming guest cottage, a spacious barn, and a boathouse. Each feature enhances the home’s connection to its environment while offering a sense of adventure and versatility. In recognition of its design excellence and harmony with the landscape, this remarkable residence was honored with an American Society of Landscape Architects Award in 2015, a testament to its enduring beauty and thoughtful integration with nature.
