Designed by renowned architect T.J. Palmer, this spectacular Japanese-style contemporary has been featured on a number of home tours. Sitting on a private 4-acre hilltop, the house boasts four cantilevered decks with glass sliders, Brazilian granite kitchen and bathroom counters, Italian teak wall panels, and a large central fireplace that reflects the home's warmth while a spiral staircase and soaring cathedral ceilings create a sense of awe. The interior also includes stone-beds and floor-to-ceiling windows that melt into the outside world, where you'll find Zen-inspired gardens, a cobble-stone carport, and a lush mixture of century-old white oak trees, Japanese maples, cedar, chestnuts, fern beds, irises, and more. Nature lovers will enjoy a wooded trail that connects the property with a peaceful nature preserve maintained by the Haddam Land Trust. As songwriter Wolfe Gilbert once wrote, "Those who find beauty in all of nature will find themselves at one with the secrets of life itself."
