This place is AMAZING. It was designed by the architect who normally lives there, and this is an architect with HEART. It had everything: a phenomenal view, an organic form, beautiful timber-framing, stone floors, a perfect deck, interesting (!) reading materials, a piano (!), an absolutely heavenly window-seat, and evidence everywhere of lives lived with gusto and authenticity. I got just as much from the examples of passionate living as I did from the beauty of the place itself - and the place was extraordinary.
