''Belvedere'', a term used in English since the 16th century, derives from two Italian words: bel, which means beautiful and vedere, which means ''view''. Here is a transformative contemporary by architects Clark & Green that engages your senses with exceptional design and one-with-nature setting, while cocooning you in the luxury of a sophisticated country retreat. This 5000 SF move-in-ready masterpiece of glass, stone, and curved metal, built in 2005, is as architecturally elegant as it is playful and inviting. While privacy is maximized, every wing of the sprawling metal-roofed compound is connected by covered blue stone walkways.The show-stopper is the barn chic great room with its 22 ft barrel- vaulted ceilings, cedar beams and soaring stone fireplace.
