Dobrodošli u "Kuću čaja", jedinstveno arhitektonsko utočište smješteno iznad jezera Gorge u Pound Ridgeu, gdje se bezvremenska izrada i prirodna ljepota stapaju u savršenoj harmoniji.

Ponovno izgrađena 1997. godine inspirirana klasičnom japanskom kućom čaja, ova izvanredna nekretnina prostire se na 4,79 hektara privatnog zemljišta uz obalu jezera, okružena zaštićenim kanjonom rijeke Mianus od 738 hektara. Vještim pejzažnim uređenjem, nekretnina je izložba organskog dizajna, dramatičnog kamena, rijetkih biljnih vrsta, slapova i mirnih japanskih vrtova.

Glavna rezidencija od 4,712 kvadratnih stopa prostire se kroz tri razine i nudi četiri spavaće sobe i pet kupaonica. Ulazni nivo otvara se na miran apartman sa antiknim ručno izrađenim vratima, kaminom, terasnim pristupom i luksuznom kupaonicom s podnim pločicama sa zagrijavanjem, saunom i zajedničkim tušem koji vodi do druge pune kupaonice i bazenskog dijela.

Stepenice i lift vode do drugog nivoa, gdje čeka dramatična dnevna soba s visokim stropovima s gredama, zapanjujućim kaminom i staklenim zidovima koji okviruju sezonske poglede na jezero i šumu. Kuhinja, otvorena prema dnevnoj i blagovaonici, ima prilagođene maple špajze, granitne radne ploče i šank za doručak. Francuska vrata s obje strane dnevnog i blagovaonskog prostora vode na prostranu Ipe terasu i potpuno opremljenu vanjsku kuhinju Viking, savršenu za nesmetanu zabavu unutra i vani.

Ova razina također uključuje još jednu spavaću sobu s punom en-suite kupaonicom i privatnom balkonom s pogledom na grijani bazen i spa, oba upravljana naprednim Aqualink sustavom. Svaki kutak doma pažljivo je dizajniran kako bi unio prirodu unutra, a da pritom zadrži osjećaj mira i privatnosti.

Gostinjska kuća od 1,200 kvadratnih stopa na dva nivoa ima jednu spavaću sobu, jednu i pol kupaonicu, punu kuhinju s Miele aparatima i privatni prilaz — idealno za ugledno gostoprimstvo.

Rijetko koja kuća nudi tako spoj arhitektonske integriteta, moderne udobnosti i emocionalnog utjecaja. "Kuća čaja" je služila kao osobno utočište — sada spremno da bude predano svom sljedećem osviještenom čuvaru.

Welcome to “The Tea House” a one-of-a-kind architectural sanctuary perched above Gorge Lake in Pound Ridge, where timeless craftsmanship and natural beauty converge in perfect harmony.

Rebuilt in 1997 with inspiration drawn from the classic Japanese Tea House, this remarkable estate spans 4.79 acres of private, lakefront land bordered by the protected 738-acre Mianus River Gorge. Expertly landscaped, the property is a showcase of organic design, dramatic stonework, rare specimen plantings, waterfalls, and tranquil Japanese gardens.

The 4,712 sq. ft. main residence unfolds across three levels and offers four bedrooms and five bathrooms. The entry level opens to a peaceful suite featuring antique handcrafted doors, a fireplace, terrace access, and a luxurious bath with radiant-heated glass tile floors, sauna, and a shared shower connecting to a second full bath and the pool deck.

Stairs and an elevator lead to the second level, where a dramatic living room awaits with soaring beamed ceilings, a stunning fireplace, and walls of glass framing seasonal lake and woodland views. The kitchen, open to the living and dining areas, features custom quilted maple cabinetry, granite countertops, and a breakfast bar. French doors on either side of the living and dining rooms extend to a spacious Ipe deck and a fully equipped outdoor Viking kitchen, perfect for seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining.

This level also includes another bedroom with a full ensuite bath and private balcony overlooking the heated pool and spa, both managed by an advanced Aqualink system. Every inch of the home is thoughtfully designed to bring the outdoors in while maintaining a sense of peace and privacy.

In addition to the main residence, the estate includes two separate guest dwellings. A 1,200 sq. ft. two-level guesthouse features one bedroom, one and a half bathrooms, a full kitchen with Miele appliances, and a private driveway — ideal for hosting in style. A second guest suite, located above the three-car carport, includes a living room and full bath, while a private office space below offers a separate work environment complete with a walk-in wine fridge and half bath.

Additional features include a detached three-car garage with an air-conditioned upper level, an elevator servicing all main levels, three backup generators, radiant and hydro-air heat with over 10 zones, a Lutron lighting system, and central air conditioning and vacuum. With multiple Ipe decks, gas-fired spa and pool, landscape lighting, and lake access including a small private island, the property offers both serenity and sophistication.

Rarely does a home offer such a blend of architectural integrity, modern convenience, and emotional impact. “The Tea House” has served as a personal sanctuary — now ready to be passed on to its next discerning steward.
