4205 Knoll Terrace, Neskowin, OR 97149

Property Description

Nestled amid the cathedral of Sitka Spruce, where the coastal forest gently carves out Neskowin's shoreline, lies a sanctuary of unparalleled privacy. This masterful creation by Portland architect Michael McCulloch & local builder Nick Dusic, perched gracefully on a romantic knoll, invites you into a world where the essence of the land is honored & preserved. The exterior palette exudes durability incorporating clear cedar siding, fir, copper, and local stone. You are lead up to the main level guided by a Darryl Nelson crafted solid copper railing resembling a branch with vines. The interior elements were consciously chosen kiln dried non-old-growth beams cut to the measurements of the forgotten era with columns that are through bolted. For continuity kitchen elements include a copper backsplash, marble topped island with a gnarled maple base and views of Cape Lookout, Cape Kiwanda and Proposal Rock. Elegantly integrated, the built-ins enhance the home's design, ensuring that every corner remains a testament to the seamless blend of form and function. The southwest corner, framed with glass, opens to the dramatic cliff's edge of Cascade Head, where every glance frames a living masterpiece of the ocean waves. Rising from floor to vaulted ceiling, the local basalt stone fireplace is a monument of warmth and strength. A symphony of light plays across the spaces, a carefully curated series of moods that shift with the day's rhythm, creating an ever-changing canvas of light and shadow. Wander down the stairs to the private rooms, which descend in perfect harmony with the land's natural slope. A midway landing, an intimate stage against the forested backdrop, offers a moment of reflection and connection with this native landscape. Sanctuaries of peace and elegance, these two primary suites offer serene retreats, each a haven of comfort where tranquility and luxury entwine. Each bathroom features custom colored Pratt and Larson tiles, and underfoot, slate tiles offer a grounded elegance. The Japanese soaking tub, with its heat recirculating embrace, offers a meditative refuge. Each floor offers dramatic views as clouds weave their delicate patterns and the coastal range murmurs to the east, time seems to dance with the dappled sunlight filtering through the trees. This home has been meticulously constructed and maintained with an electric car charger in the garage, new Pella aluminum clad windows with fir trim on the Southwest side, and a 50 year fire resistant roof installed in 2023. These moments where the natural elements meet are individually unique and can only be appreciated in person. With Cascade Head as the backdrop, discover the enchantment of this Neskowin coastal haven.
