Description

On a quiet and secluded 28 acre lakefront property featuring 1,266ft of pristine shoreline sheltered by magnificent rock bluffs, beautiful plateaus and stately Ponderosa pine trees an architecturally designed, West Coast home sits at the water's edge taking full advantage of the lake views and capturing natural light from every angle. The privacy of this Estate and lakefront is undeniable. Situated on its own point without the influence of any direct neighboring properties the landscaped and natural foliage surrounding the estate accents the lake, mountain and sky with vivid colour. A pathway leading around the home and through the gardens, passing fruit trees of all varieties reveals the expansive and crystal clear pebble beach. A rare and elaborate boathouse constructed out onto the water is one of many details that make Finch Estate a very unique property offering. Crafted of enduring European materials, German Architect Tilo Driessen Van Der Lieck accomplishes contemporary innovation with old world craftsmanship. Through a proportionate balance of angles the entry to this split-level, five bedroom home is framed in by groomed hedging, garden artworks, brightly coloured flowers and a brick walkway. Once inside the angles take on an entirely new character, directing and striking light against their white walls and wooden background throughout the dramatic 25 foot foyer. Massive, salvaged fir posts from an old local packing house and oak flooring create continuity throughout the revolving floor plan and add to the distinct warmth inherently present in the home. As a lakeside home the windows and rooms have been particularly situated to maximize the incredible views outside, and as a winter retreat the European influences such as the Kachelofen, an extremely efficient and traditional wood burning system, provide an intimate and cozy setting to relax in the absolute quiet that this setting offers. A highly functional and charming chef’s kitchen, large office, library, and grand living room are all distinct areas of the home that tie together the private bedrooms. The lower level features an artist’s studio, wine cellar, storage areas and accommodation for guests with a separate entry leading outside. Two detached 2-car garages and two storage sheds have a variety of intended uses. Finch Estate is a truly impressionable property – one that you can imagine yourself taking the time to fully appreciate and to return to in your mind countless times over. Features A newly built caretakers home with a two car garage at the top of the property has incredible lake views and is the perfect accessory building. Carved into the woods with a landscaped garden path to surround it is a single level, open floorplan home on its own private plateau. The caretakers have been with the property for many years creating and maintaining the beautiful details of the Estate and would be happy to continue for many more.
