Set within Black Forest on six wooded acres, the Stone Cottage at Mill Brook blends the permanence of stone construction with the thoughtful precision of modern design. Its cottage-like exterior leads into a 3,400-square-foot home where vaulted ceilings, generous proportions, and carefully chosen finishes define each space. The home’s design balances lodge-like warmth with meticulous detail, from stone masonry and exposed beams to globally sourced finishes and integrated systems.

Through the main entrance, the home opens into an airy living area rising under vaulted ceilings and rustic exposed beams. To the right, a sitting area centers around a grand stone fireplace framed by arched windows and a circular candlestick chandelier. To the left, the kitchen and dining areas offer a space for gathering: marble countertops, gold-toned accents, a six-burner Ilve range with griddle, and an oversized eat-in island. Three tall, narrow doors open directly to the wraparound deck from the kitchen, while the adjacent dining area features built-in cabinetry and a flat archway that reconnects to the foyer.

The private wing extends from the entry, with each bedroom offering its own ensuite. Vaulted ceilings and lattice-leaded windows in the first bedroom frame views of the surrounding forest, while its bath includes a soapstone double vanity and walk-in rainfall shower. Down the hall, a second bedroom opens onto the wraparound deck through sliding glass doors, and a half bath with laundry sits at the end, tucked beside stairs that lead to the lower level.

The ground floor houses the primary suite, with double doors opening directly onto the grounds. Its bath includes a trough-style double vanity, a deep soaking tub overlooking the landscape, and a separate stall shower. A recreation area and half bath complete this flexible lower level.

Outside, the wraparound deck provides views of Mill Brook and the surrounding woods. Trails, waterfalls, and swimming holes extend beyond the property, where the movement of the brook and depth of the forest amplify the home’s sense of presence and privacy. Across six acres, the Stone Cottage balances careful craftsmanship with the calm of Black Forest surroundings, offering a setting that feels expansive yet intimate.

Century-Old Character, Modern Comfort: Our Favorite Details at The Stone Cottage

Though new construction, the Stone Cottage at Mill Brook feels like it has been standing for centuries. Its stone façade, arched windows and doorways, and Tudor-style panes give the home a storybook quality. Inside, the open living area unfolds like a great hall with vaulted ceilings and rustic exposed beams. Circular chandeliers, rich hardwood floors, and exposed wood details create warmth and texture throughout. Outside, Mill Brook winds past the deck almost like a moat, and the surrounding forest frames the home with a sense of quiet presence, where every detail is intentional and rooted in the landscape.
