The barn’s stately, symmetrical façade immediately establishes its architectural presence. A dramatic stone entry anchors the board-and-batten exterior, while hand-forged carriage lanterns frame the graceful arched opening. From here, visitors are welcomed through the main entrance or guided along covered walkways extending from either side of the structure. Overhead, a standing-seam metal roof is punctuated by elongated shed dormers and crowned with copper-capped cupolas, adding depth, character, and a distinctive European elegance to the design.

Barn Interior

The center aisle is framed by exposed timber trusses that support a stained wood ceiling crafted with traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery, celebrating the enduring artistry of classic timber-frame construction. Soft natural light filters through the dormers and copper-capped cupolas above, while thoughtfully placed pendant fixtures provide a warm, inviting glow throughout the space.

Twelve generously proportioned stalls prioritize the comfort and safety of the horses, complemented by a well-appointed tack room, two grooming bays, and ample storage that support the daily demands of barn life with ease and efficiency. A third outdoor wash bay offers a chance for warm weather bathing.

Extending the full length of the structure, a loft overlooks the aisle below, allowing daylight to fill the barn. Traditional fence-style railings and wide-plank wood flooring embrace the style of early American craftsmanship, adding warmth to a space where historic inspiration and modern function meet.

Tack Room

The tack room includes an island with a sink, vertical wall storage for saddles, bridles, and accessories.

Ample custom cabinetry stores an expansive collection of boots, polo wraps, and saddle pads.

Feed Room

The feed room is connected to the tack room and features a large sink for tack cleaning.

Owner’s Suite

An attached owner’s suite, complete with living quarters, dining room, kitchen, and bath, provides a touch of luxury moments away from the horses. The suite can be directly accessed from the tack room.

With moody saturated colors, heritage chandeliers, and layered fabrics and textures, the apartment’s exposed timber beams introduce a touch of rustic charm to its opulence.

The office offers a hint of equestrian with ribbons and an adorable fox print.

A well-equipped galley kitchen that maximizes every inch of the small space sports the classic aesthetic of a contrasting black and white color palette.

Exterior Details

The exterior exudes timeless elegance and the barn remains true to its purpose. Every decision—from the integrated stonework and heavy timber framing to the carefully considered ventilation and enduring materials—reflects a thoughtful balance of beauty, durability, and functional design.
