Nasljedstvo američkog majstorstva – 200 godina stara karijola od drva s postovima i gredama

U brdovitim šumama Forestburgha, New York, samo dva sata od NYC-a, nalazi se jedinstvena nekretnina s izvanrednom transformacijom. Prije više od dva stoljeća, majstorski graditelji podignuli su karijolu od drva s postovima i gredama čiji ručno obrađeni trupci još uvijek traju i danas. Sada, nakon temeljite obnove od temelja, ova povijesna građevina ponovno je zamišljena kao remek-djelo moderne luksuzne arhitekture — nezamjenjivo svjedočanstvo trajnog majstorstva.

Prolazeći kroz grandiozni francuski ulaz širok osam stopa, ulazi se ne samo u rezidenciju, već u djelo živog umjetničkog stvaralaštva. Arhitektonski dizajnirano oko izvornih masivnih greda — potpuno eksponiranih i očuvanih — protežu se preko strahovitih stropova katedrale visine 20 stopa, čija je izblijedjela patina zapanjujući kontrast elegantnim, modernim završnim obradama koje sada definiraju dom. Svaki zid, strop i usko mjesto ojačani su i revitalizirani, osiguravajući najviše standarde udobnosti i efikasnosti bez ometanja povijesnog integriteta strukture.
Glavni kat se razvija kao potpuno otvoreni koncept stambenog prostora gdje se povijest i moderna izrada susreću bez kompromisa. Nudi privatni apartman s kupaonicom povrh cijele visine obloženom pločicama, kuhinju po mjeri s ručno izrađenim namještajem, granitne radne površine s potpuno usklađenim obrubom, vrhunske uređaje i povezani dnevni i blagovaonski prostor. Elegantni luster služi kao središnja točka sobe, bacajući toplu svjetlost na sjajne široke parketne podove. Ručno izrađeni dodaci i neovisna kontrola klime u svakoj prostoriji podižu i stil i udobnost. Odatle se klizna vrata otvaraju na natkrivenu terasu dimenzija 40’ x 12’, okrenutu prema zapadu i savršeno pozicioniranu za vanjsko objedovanje, opuštanje ili jednostavno uživanje u zalasku sunca.
Penjući se na drugi kat, dva višenamjenska loft prostora nude uzvišene poglede na grandiozni dnevni boravak ispod. Ovi prostori pružaju fleksibilne opcije za smještaj gostiju, kućne urede, čitaonice ili bilo koju svrhu koju vaša mašta oživi – sve to u okviru trajne ljepote izvorne konstrukcije s postovima i gredama.
Donja razina nastavlja priču o rafiniranoj obnovi doma s autentičnim pločama od škriljevca, otkrivenim gredama stropa, još jednim privatnim apartmanom, prostorom za pranje rublja i potpuno obloženom kupaonicom s podnim grijanjem i prostranim tušem s kišnim tušem. Prilagođeni prirodni kamen na otvorenom kaminu s propanima pruža trenutnu toplinu i ambijent, dok staklena vrata vode do ruke postavljenog bluestone patioa koji besprijekorno povezuje udobnost unutrašnjosti s vanjskim mirom.

Bez štednje i s pomnim okom za detalje, ova rezidencija potpuno je ponovno zamišljena dok su zadržan njen autentični rustikalni šarm. Svaki element je obnovljen — vodovod, električni sustav, temelj, krov, prozori, izolacija od pjene, HVAC, okvir, obloga, bušena bunara, septički sustav i još mnogo toga. Izrađeno prema najvišim standardima, građeno da traje i dizajnirano da inspiriše, ovo remek-djelo spremno je da se ceni kroz generacije koje dolaze. Ovo je više od doma — to je nasljedstvo. Rijetka prilika da posjedujete dio rane američke povijesti, ponovno rođen s modernim majstorstvom da traje još dva stoljeća. Nekretnine ovog kalibra rijetko se nude i nikada se ne dupliciraju. Sljedeće poglavlje ovog nasljedstva čeka — hoće li nositi vaše ime?

An Heirloom of American Craftsmanship – 200-Year-Old Post & Beam Carriage House

In the rolling woodlands of Forestburgh, New York, just two hours from NYC, stands a one of a kind property with an extraordinary transformation. Over two centuries ago, artisan builders raised a Post & Beam carriage house whose hand-hewn timbers still endure today. Now, after a meticulous ground-up restoration, this historic structure has been reimagined as a masterpiece of modern luxury—an irreplaceable testament to enduring craftsmanship.

Passing through the grand eight-foot French entryway, one enters not merely a residence but a work of livable art. Architecturally designed around the original massive beams—fully exposed and preserved—they stretch across soaring 20-foot cathedral ceilings, their weathered patina a striking contrast to the sleek, contemporary finishes that now define the home. Every wall, ceiling, and crevice has been reinforced and revitalized, ensuring the highest standards of comfort and efficiency without disturbing the historic integrity of the structure.
The main floor unfolds as a completely open-concept living space where history and modern craftsmanship meet without compromise. It offers a private suite with a floor-to-ceiling tiled bathroom, a custom-designed kitchen featuring hand-crafted cabinetry, granite countertops with full matching backsplash, top-of-the-line appliances, and an adjoining living and dining area. An elegant chandelier serves as the room’s centerpiece, casting warm light across gleaming wide plank hardwood floors. Artisan fixtures and independent climate control in every room elevate both style and comfort. From here, sliding doors open onto a 40’ x 12’ covered balcony, west-facing and perfectly positioned for outdoor dining, lounging, or simply enjoying the sunset.
Ascending to the second story, two versatile loft spaces offer elevated views of the grand living area below. These spaces provide flexible options for guest accommodations, home offices, reading lounges, or whatever purpose your imagination brings to life—all framed by the enduring beauty of original post-and-beam construction.
The lower level continues the home’s story of refined restoration with authentic slate floors, exposed ceiling joists, another private suite, laundry quarters, and a fully tiled bathroom with radiant heated floors and a spacious walk-in shower featuring a rain showerhead. A custom-built natural stone fireplace with propane insert delivers instant warmth and ambiance, while glass doors lead to a hand-laid bluestone patio that seamlessly connects indoor comfort with outdoor serenity.

With no expense spared and a meticulous eye for detail, this residence has been fully reimagined while preserving its authentic rustic charm. Every element has been renewed—plumbing, electrical, foundation, roof, windows, spray foam insulation, HVAC, framing, siding, and drilled well, septic system and more. Crafted to the highest standard, built to endure, and designed to inspire, this masterpiece is ready to be cherished for generations to come. This is more than a home—it’s a legacy. A rare chance to own a piece of early American history, reborn with modern craftsmanship to last another two centuries. Estates of this caliber are seldom offered and never duplicated. The next chapter of this heirloom is waiting—will it bear your name?
