Wo Die Zeit Still Steht.

Nestled along a quiet country road in the rolling hills of Washington County, is a rare offering where timeless craftsmanship, natural beauty, and enduring privacy converge. Set on nearly 28 wooded acres with sweeping views of the distant mountains of Vermont, this extraordinary handcrafted residence embodies the spirit of an elevated country retreat—equally suited for year-round living or a peaceful escape from city life.

Built using the centuries-old Scandinavian Full Scribe (Swedish Cope) method, the home showcases massive hand-hewn, full-length Eastern White Pine logs of exceptional quality. Precision-crafted with a state-of-the-art gasketing system, the residence offers remarkable energy efficiency while preserving the authentic character and integrity of traditional Scandinavian log construction. Inspired by classic European alpine architecture, generous roof overhangs provide exceptional protection from the elements while enhancing the home’s timeless design.

Inside, old-world craftsmanship meets refined comfort. Rich timber beams, soaring ceilings, and walls of handcrafted logs create warm, inviting spaces that celebrate the surrounding landscape. The first floor features hard rock maple flooring salvaged from an 1830s North Carolina warehouse, meticulously restored, installed, and finished with five coats of polyurethane—adding both history and character beneath every step.

Custom built—not from a kit—using premium Vermont-sourced logs and master craftsmanship, this approximately 4,200-square-foot residence offers four bedrooms and four and a half baths thoughtfully designed to embrace comfort, scale, and connection to nature.

Beyond the home, the landscape is equally captivating. Mature woods, a gently flowing brook, abundant wildlife, and pristine mountain air create a setting of extraordinary tranquility. Located in eastern Upstate New York, and just a short drive from Saratoga Springs, Manchester, The Hudson Valley, Adirondacks, Berkshires, Boston and NYC -- this property offers an exceptional balance of privacy, recreation, and accessibility.

Perfectly positioned for four-season enjoyment, 151 Irish Lane offers easy access to nearby recreation, from swimming, picnicking, and hiking trails at Lake Lauderdale, just 6 miles from Cambridge, and to several regional ski destinations. Willard Mountain is 9.2 miles away, Bromley Mountain is 38.8 miles away, Jiminy Peak is 44.1 miles away, and Stratton Mountain is 48.2 miles away, making the home an inviting year-round retreat for outdoor enthusiasts.

Rarely does a home combine authentic Scandinavian craftsmanship, remarkable natural beauty, and enduring quality with such authenticity. More than a residence, this home is one of one. Crafted for generations. Designed to stand the test of time.
