Laurel Ridge is a magical place. Visitors regularly comment on its natural beauty and the drama if its interior. The home was built by Steve Hostetter and designed by a professional couple from Metropolitan Washington as a woodland retreat and retirement cottage based on a fishing camp on the shores of Moosehead Lake, Maine but expanded for year round living. The property is sited on a level, 2.5 acre lot in The Highlands and built into the trees instead of above. The colors of light yellow, green and stone reflect the sandstone soil and green canopy of the forest. This small but exquisite home requires minimal maintenance with a standing seam metal roof, oversize half-round gutters, HardiePlank siding, natural stone veneer, and a TimberTec
