Description
Black Dog Farm, owned by artist Elaine Voghelle, an exceptional estate offering a refined storybook ambiance. The fully restored 1803 Antique Eyebrow Colonial Farmhouse is set on 4.6 acres of prime land along the Appalachian Trail. Renovations throughout the home are executed to the highest standard. The property includes several substantial outbuildings, including a three-level cottage, a two-car detached garage, a sauna and spa room, Tabacco Barn & an expansive horse barn with fully operational paddocks complete with water and electricity. The artist's extraordinary vision brings the estate to life, creating a museum-quality residence that embodies elegance and sophistication. Rare materials and uncompromising attention to detail are evident throughout, including white oak hardwood floors sourced from MOMA, custom handmade mahogany windows fitted with imported wavy German glass, and advanced argon gas insulation. The chef's kitchen is thoughtfully designed with gnarled brass pulls, leathered limestone marble countertops, and a handmade, hand-painted tile backsplash. The retreat was constructed using Pennsylvania Lichen Stone, with stone walls and pillars carefully built to replicate the craftsmanship of centuries past. Bronze metal seamed-heated roofs, snow guards, and cupolas crown each structure, providing both durability and architectural distinction. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with rows of English dwarf boxwoods.
