The Stone Springs Ranch Project
This home was envisioned as a sanctuary for a couple who cherishes both lively gatherings and quiet evenings at home. Designed to merge indoor and outdoor living, it features an open layout that encourages connection. A spacious kitchen serves as the heart of the home, while an expansive outdoor area—complete with a kitchen, pool, fire pit and bocce ball court—extends the living experience beyond the walls.
Balancing modern design with rustic textures, the home incorporates white oak, walnut and reclaimed barn beams. These 100-year-old beams, each weighing 800 pounds, were carefully installed to bring warmth and authenticity to the space. Thoughtfully planned lighting and layered furnishings enhance the atmosphere, ensuring that each space feels welcoming. With breathtaking views, expertly curated materials and intentional design, the space embodies the art of gathering and the beauty of home.
