TUCKED INTO A SITE WITH A CROWN OF MATURE EVERGREENS, Hemlock Hollow possesses a distinctly New Hampshire character. The high canopy provides this home with exceptional 270-degree views of Mount Sunapee, Great Island, and to the northern waters of Lake Sunapee. The towering trees and natural setting give this residence a feeling of permanence and longevity as if they have been growing up around it for decades.

The landscape of this home complements the architecture and natural character of the site, using natural stone elements and a wide variety of native understory plant species. Adjacent to both the great room and kitchen, a flagstone terrace extends living space to the outdoors. The space feels private and human in scale while still maintaining a connection to the scenery beyond. A bluestone pathway with subtle landscape lighting descends along with the natural topography to the boathouse and waterfront. A stepping-stone path further connects the boathouse along a blueberry-lined path to the walkout entry of the lower-level bar and game room. Entries at the front door and mudroom are constructed of cut granite pavers complementing the stone accents on the house and chimney. A bluestone walkway with stacked flagstone steps meanders through the trees and links the primary residence with the carriage house.
