The brilliance in the home's presence and life is light and passive, yet its structure and materials are robust; it will outlive generations.

The house and amenities sit at about an 18 ft elevation above the mean high water level and offer unattainable proximity to the shore, within 100ft.
A long pier with two power lifts and MLW 6+ deep water can accommodate large sailboats. The beautiful exposures from the 450ft of shoreline enjoy views of the protected conservation land of Ratcliff Manor.

One may complete the cottage and pool as they wish and add another guest suite or a modern cabana.
