Three Barn Farm - An Outstanding Waterfront Property

Featured Sales Property: Three Barn Farm - An Outstanding Waterfront Property

Nestled into the landscape above the Menemsha shoreline, is this outstanding property at the end of a private way.  Built in 2005, the home has been immaculately maintained with exterior and interior design elements that are both tasteful and timeless.

Before breaking ground on their dream home in 2004 the owners, who purchased 20 David’s Way in 2001, spent three summers living in the existing cottage so that they could get a good feel for the land.  The brief to their architect was to create a home that was sympathetic to the natural surroundings and that complimented the landscape.

In a close collaboration with their builder Leo De Sorcy, who shared the owners passion for the aesthetic, they used their combined knowledge of materials, craftsmanship and interior design to create a home where attention to detail is second to none. 

As the name implies, the property is divided into three barns with in interior grass courtyard and connecting areas. Barn one is dedicated to living and entertaining space.  A beautiful great room with multiple sets of French doors that take full advantage of the 180 degree water views and notable Menemsha sunsets. On the opposite wall there's an impressive fireplace crafted from reclaimed brick which adds a cosy element.  Custom Farrow and Ball painted cabinetry, window shutters and trim, combine with reclaimed floors and antique beams to give the room a sophisticated rustic appearance.  A state of the art kitchen is at the far end, with a pantry/kitchen/prep area and half bathroom that can be separated with pocket doors when entertaining.  A small step up leads to the library/breakfast room, with French doors on either side that open to the huge brick outdoor fireplace on the ocean side, and sheltered herb patio to the rear.  This room connects Barn One to the master suite that has its own brick patio overlooking the ocean.  There's also a fireplace, floor to ceiling windows and custom pure wool carpet.  From here, a large closet area connects to an exquisite bathroom with its own secluded courtyard garden with Viburnum bushes – a marvelous sheltered sun trap in the shoulder season months.  Below the master suite is the laundry room - which needs to be seen to be fully appreciated - a television/sitting room and access to the systems room.

One can enter Barn Three either through a connecting corridor from the master suite, or from the outside of the property. There's an elevator that brings you down into Barn Three from the garage above, or access the guest bedroom from the grassy interior courtyard.  Barn Three comprises of two bathrooms, the gym, sitting room with fireplace, and guest bedroom.  Above this is a large office, that looks over Barn One to the ocean beyond, as well as a two car garage.   Whilst the current two bedroom configuration is suited to the present owners the rooms can easily be reconfigured to suit different needs. There is a three bedroom septic in place.

From the Farrow and Ball interior paint color to tinted exterior concrete detail that melds to the landscape, Belgium Bluestone countertops and interior door hardware sourced from France.  This home has to be seen to be truly appreciated.
