Adorned with authentic hand-hewn heavy timber and stone with big grout joints reminiscent of old-world craftsmanship, the home imparts a warm and lived-in feel appropriate for a full time family residence.

A simple house of rectangular plan with a gable roof respecting the local character of the countryside and buildings is located at the end of a cul-de-sac, which is followed by fields and meadows. Because of its direct contact with the surrounding greenery, it looks as if it grew naturally out of it.
