The custom built residence, sited among rolling fields, nearby mountains, and wooded trails, is the perfect retreat for a family that enjoys hiking, horseback riding, swimming, and skiing. The home's design was influenced by the Vermont farmhouse tradition as well as by the owner's Swedish heritage and minimalist style. Farm Villa synthesizes the modest, local farmhouse vemacular with the traditional Neoclassical European Villa. Yet, while elegant detailing and proportions recall local and distant historic precedents, a contemporary, minimalist spirit infuses the interior.
