Days here start with birdsong instead of traffic. Coffee in hand, step onto one of the multi-level decks or the sparkling stone patio and the woods are right there, with no neighbors in sight. This custom-built post-and-beam contemporary is built for both quiet mornings alone and evenings when the home fills with friends. Tucked deep into more than 10 private acres of Canton woodland, this custom-built post-and-beam contemporary is architecture as art. A long approach winds through the trees before opening onto a circular drive, where a bold, sculptural front door announces exactly what's inside: a home unafraid of dramatic design. Walls of glass, soaring wood ceilings, and dramatic angles frame the surrounding landscape from nearly every room, smoothing the line between inside and out. The open floor plan unfolds as a series of artfully defined spaces where sunken gardens, level changes, and purposeful angles carve out a conversation pit, a dedicated dining area, and quiet corners for reading, all without closing off the flow. The largest of these, the main living area, holds a hidden wet bar and a space for sound equipment, built right into the design for relaxing nights or effortless entertaining. The same sculptural confidence carries into the kitchen and baths, where bold, era-authentic details reinforce the home's creative spirit and await your own ideas and dreams.

Bedrooms offer privacy and flexibility: a separate wing holds two rooms sharing a bath, currently a bedroom and office, easily a third bedroom, while the entire upper level is devoted to a primary suite with a generous bedroom, endless closet storage, and a primary bath as visually striking as it is functional. On a practical note, a brand new septic system and two new oil tanks are in place, along with dual heat sources, two wood furnaces and two oil furnaces, plus a whole house generator. Out here, the quiet never has to be interrupted.
