Tuscan Villa

465 CAFFERTY RD Erwinna, Pennsylvania 18920 United States

SHELTER-IN-GRACE. Only 90 minutes from NYC on a good day, it's your 'fortress of solitude' on a bad one. A meandering private driveway hides a Tuscan Villa reproduction nestled among hundreds of acres of woodlands and protected by a Conservation Easement. The old-world stucco exterior conceals an energy efficient structure while the artisan interior makes use of Venetian plaster, reclaimed bricks, antique doors, barn beams and flooring, setting this newer construction a world apart. The open floor-plan features a gourmet kitchen and great room overlooking a patio and distant creek. Guests have a private upstairs wing with vistas from their Juliet balconies, while the first-floor master bed and bath adjoin a serene private courtyard. But it's what you can t see that matters. A secret entrance 'safe room closet' and a hidden storage room for valuables top the list, while efficient geothermal heat and air conditioning is backed-up by a sustainable wood furnace. The smartly sized propane generator can run for months at a time, supplemented by solar energy. With total privacy from your neighbors and the world, this nearby safe-haven property is like no other.
