An exceptional opportunity to own an extraordinary, architect-designed home on 7.9 serene acres overlooking 25 acres of protected land, just ten minutes from the center of Amherst. A formal entry introduces the home’s signature elements—custom millwork, translucent screen partitions, and a seamless, flowing layout. Expansive southern-facing glass fills the home with natural light and frames uninterrupted vistas from all the first-floor rooms. Upstairs, you’ll find 3 bedrooms, including a stunning primary suite with a spa-like bath. All bedrooms have wonderful views over the fields. A tower leads to a private light-filled study. The lower level offers flexible living with a bedroom and a large study that look onto the woods, a full bath, and a library and media room—ideal for guests or extended living. A separate office wing, reachable from the house via a 4-season porch offers two spacious work areas with a splendid corner-office view over the meadows and forest beyond.
