RACE BROOK RETREAT is privately perched at 1000 feet elevation on 80 acres with a spectacular view over the Housatonic River valley, and just a short hike out the backdoor through the adjacent 1300 acre State Forest to renown Race Brook Falls and The Appalachian Trail. The property extends from the valley to the top of the mountain and includes a stream, springs, a pond and a large irrigated and fenced vegetable garden. Asian inspired throughout, with Noguchi lamps hanging in the atrium living room including its native fieldstone fireplace with a 9’ hickory barn beam mantle, and huge glass walls that open to a wraparound mahogany deck. Deep overhangs above extend living outdoors to enjoy a summer rain or take in the long vista. The kitchen has European hardwood cabinets, a native maple cooking island and a screened dining porch. The first floor master suite has a large cypress soaking tub. Three additional guest rooms are off the upper gallery and the third floor is a loft. A two-car garage is on the ground floor as is a fully equipped darkroom and plenty of storage. White Oak floors and stairs throughout, a nook alcove with an original ash trunk and even an outdoor shower.
