Where poetic tranquility meets architectural elegance, this Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired Prairie Home rests atop 11 beautiful acres with sweeping views of Stone Valley. Designed for peace and connection to nature, the property features a pergola-covered dining patio with flowering vines, tiered gardens, a fruit orchard and tranquil groves for quiet reflection. Stone patios and a lily pond invite relaxation with the valley as a stunning backdrop. Inside, thoughtful details abound: corner and picture windows with southern exposure frame spectacular views and sunrises from both first- and second-floor suites. The grand living room centers on a massive wood-burning fireplace, complemented by custom woodwork, a cherry kitchen, quarter-sawn oak office, vaulted ceilings with hidden uplighting, radiant floors, mini-split AC, earth-toned walls, stained glass, and copper gutters accenting rustic cedar siding. With three en-suite bedrooms (including a 2020 first-floor addition), an office, and a bonus room, the home blends comfort and style. Ideal for remote work with fast internet and dedicated spaces, it also appeals to hobbyists and gardeners with a heated workshop/studio, gym, two-car and tractor garages, four-tier garden, hoop house, root cellar, and three storage sheds. The land is also well-suited for farming or homesteading—current owners raise chickens and sheep, and the garden beds have extra fertile soil that yields abundant harvests. Minutes from Shavers Creek, Whipple Dam, and Greenwood Furnace State Parks—and just 20 minutes from State College—this serene retreat offers elegant living in harmony with nature.
