This lauded architectural gem overlooks a panoramic, pastoral view of Rutherford from its solitary perch near Auberge du Soleil. From the base of Rutherford Hill Road ascend a private, wooded drive to an outpost of civilization, overlooking vineyards, ponds, and Mt. Saint John. This two bedroom, two bathroom house, sitting on 21+ acres, has featured in numerous publications. It has been acclaimed for its siting and efficiency, and also its use of conventional materials which still today, 20 years after its construction, elicit a sense of unity and contemporary design. Lean by design, it is also warm in personality. The main floor features a Pullman kitchen opposite a soaring window that overlooks a glimmering pool and the valley beyond. Balanced on one side of this axis is a large alcove, suitable for reading or naps, and opposite the alcove is a Rumford fireplace. Adding to the warmth of the room is a view of the vibrant color combination of the charcoal blue pool set in a raspberry hued concrete decking. The second floor accommodates the two bedrooms, both with valley views, and one with a private balcony facing south and east. The top floor rests under the apex of the house and is suitable as a spacious office, sleeping area, or power spot for yoga and meditation. One step inside this modern, symmetrical, mountain retreat and youll understand why its architectural acclaim ranks on a par with its sweeping, storybook views of the valley below. www.rutherfordviews.com
