The original home on the property was destroyed in a fire, so in 1997 the homeowners of the time rebuilt it from the ground up with care and respect for the tradition of Japanese tea houses. “The location is truly extraordinary,” says Julie Setterlund, real estate agent with William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty. “It’s one of the most serene and visually striking settings in all of Pound Ridge.” The house is poised to capture views of Gorge Lake and the dramatic rock ledge beyond. “Every room feels intimately connected to the landscape with views that shift beautifully throughout the day.”
The landscaped approach to the front door envelops you in greenery with natural slate paths and surrounding stonework leading up to the reclaimed 18th-century door. “Timeless and soulful. It blends modern lines with historical character,” says Setterlund. “It’s equal parts refined and grounded.” Natural oak floors and natural pine shiplap on the walls and ceiling pair with a cool gray concrete fireplace surround.
Glass sliding doors framed in black are modern and let in natural light as well as sweeping views of the surrounding landscape. The screened in porch provides a place to get outdoors even in the rain. “The natural setting absolutely informed the design,” adds Setterlund. “You can feel it in the way the home opens to the outdoors, with expansive windows, organic materials and sightlines that draw you toward the water and surrounding woodlands. It’s a home that breathes with its environment.”
Upstairs, the primary bedroom suite has a private balcony to enjoy a morning coffee and a good book while looking out over the lake.
An expansive deck off the back and in-ground heated gunite pool and spa with blue stone patio just steps out the door have a serene vibe. Bonsai trees give nod to the home’s Japanese style.
Worked into the landscaping, an outdoor water feature not only brings visual beauty to the property but also a calming soundscape. “Every turn offers something to admire,” adds Setterlund.
Pound Ridge is a quiet and rural community with a small-town center in Scott’s Corner where you can find artisan shops and boutiques. The Inn at Pound Ridge by world-renowned chef Jean-Georges is a foodie destination.
“In a market where buyers are seeking peaceful escapes with character, 16 Gorge Lane offers something special,” says Setterlund. “Every visit reveals something new. It’s a place to retreat, to create and to live with intention.”
