Black Dog Farm is named after the resident rescue dogs who enjoy this spectacular property along with their human companions. Both canines and people can appreciate the private river frontage, endless trails, fields, and forest, as well as the comfortable homes with plenty of room for relaxation and creative fun. If you’re looking for a place to escape the rest of the world and follow your passions, Black Dog Farm gives you plenty of scope for outdoor activities such as fishing, kayaking, hunting, horseback riding or hiking along the many trails. Afterwards you can loll in the pool or soak in the hot tub. Indoor pursuits are equally indulged with plenty of room for cooking, baking, and serving up feasts for friends and family, rooms for hobbies, and many quiet nooks to hole up with a good book or two. So light the fire, pull a nice bottle of wine from the wine cellar, and watch the sunset over the mountains. Black Dog farm consists of a warm contemporary main home and a striking rustic guest house. The dwellings were carefully designed with large entertaining spaces and quiet escapes. The outside is connected to the inside with wrap-around decks and terraces, complete with grills and fire pits. The kitchen, dining area, and living room are all open to one another and form a focal point for the rest of the house. A separate wing houses the luxurious master suite. Other rooms are designed for flexible use such as bedrooms, office, music room, or gym. The guest house is a large rustic open loft space with high ceilings, full kitchen, luxurious bath, and two sleeping options. The guest house (‘the people barn’) is accessed by its own drive some distance away from the main house. It shares a side terrace with the stables. A large rustic barn building with an large open interior space with knotty pine paneling and concrete floors, the guest house features a galley kitchen, a large bath with open shower, sleeping loft, a murphy bed, and wood stove. Surrounding the guest house is a large terrace with grill and pizza oven. Surrounding the house and immediate garden areas are fields that slope down to the river. Open woodlands on the north, west, and south provide a privacy barrier from distant neighbors. The open fields are criss-crossed with mowed trails that provide endless walks or bridal paths. The maintained trails lead to the river at several scenic intervals. The trail system also connects to neighboring landowners to allow for extended walking or riding. The farm area consists of a large, well-equipped barn with tack room/office, five large stalls, and a wash stall. Cedar panelling lines the walls and ceilings. There is turn-out on both sides of the barn, and a series of connected paddocks that total 8 acres of fenced (split rail) grazing. Each paddock contains a waterer and a run-in shed as well.
