Bohlin Cyqinski Jackson is a U.S. architecture firm responsible for many of those glass Apple stores - such as the one in New York City's Fifth Avenue, who also designed a mountain mansion sitting on 100 acres of property in New Ringgold, Pennsylvania.
The retreat house boasts of vast views of another 1,000 more acres of mountains, meadows, and valleys. The twice-featured Architectural Digest residence resonates with the firm's trademark design, a natural flow and balance between structures. Curbed reports:
"Like much of the firm's work, the 12,000-square-foot residence seeks a harmonious integration into its surroundings. From the materials used - mainly wood and stone - to the views framed, to the Asian-inspired courtyard garden, a wholly natural, ultra private getaway seems to be the ultimate promise."
Seeking $6.8 million, 175 River Road houses four bedrooms, five full bathrooms, three half bathrooms, twin stone chimneys, a six-car garage, six stone fireplaces, a gym, casino room, screening room, and pool.
The home definitely embodies the ultimate retreat home in the mountains. If you still can't seem to envision it, let the listing describe the home's aesthetic:
"Picture windows frame mesmerizing views of sky, wooded expanses and open land. The interior offers a floor plan with public and private spaces well segregated from each other. Stone fireplaces (six in all), along with stunning views, are focal points in many rooms."
Not only that, but thanks to its geothermal system, the home "enjoys the light and warmth of its south-facing orientation."
The home is currently represented by Charlie Irwin and Ken Brown of Pennsylvania-based Long and Foster Real Estate, Inc.
