On a quiet peninsula with long views toward Thumb Cove, this home was designed to tread lightly—on the land, on the grid, and on the senses. Three low-slung wings encircle a protected courtyard.
Living spaces open westward to the pond. A serene primary suite stretches toward the morning light. A guest wing and screened porch gather around a pool, while the stair slat wall filters morning light into the kitchen.
A quiet palette of reclaimed wood, smooth plaster, and custom detailing creates subtle warmth.
Every element is intentional, balancing simplicity with richness. Even the carport—modeled after a lobster trap- shines like a lantern at night.
The landscape continues the home’s ethos. Native meadows and stone paths soften the edges, gently blurring the threshold between cultivated and wild.
Behind it all, a quiet, efficient solar and battery system powers the home entirely off-grid.
