Above the Clouds, a classic design found in Stowe, Vermont – a recognized world-class haven for those craving to escape from urban stress. Stowe has long attracted residents seeking outdoor activities and community spirit; they blazed ski trails, hiked the rugged Green Mountains and developed arts and culture. Still it retains the atmosphere of a New England town built around a white-steepled church, where residents greet each other and visitors with the same warmth.

Upon entering the more than 18,000 square foot residence, the quiet elegance is evident. Natural light floods the foyer, bringing the outside into every day living. The beauty of the natural rock formations and the stunning mountain views which rise from the valley below celebrate an art form no man could create. The interior of the main living level is flanked by two wings – the east wing is entirely dedicated to the master suite, complete with sitting area, exercise room and a spacious bathroom carved from Statuario marble. The west wing houses the library lined with black walnut throughout, offices and utilitarian sections of the residence. Between the east and west wings sits the great room – a sunken affair shaped like the Steinway Grand Piano that graces one corner. The entertainment level includes a studio-quality theater with seating for 18, suitable for premier performances, opening to the mezzanine crescent shaped bar serving the inviting conversation area with wood-burning fireplace, overlooking perhaps the most popular area - a most magnificent 23 x 38 foot indoor pool with marble surround, cascading waterfall and spa facilities.

From the rock ledge canyon-like approach to the massive rocks on which the home is perched, this enduring and dramatic estate is a tribute to the vision of the owners and the contributions from artists and craftspeople who worked with a commitment to local, natural materials wherever possible.
