Set on 45 acres in historic Newmarket, New Hampshire, this newly built home was designed for single-floor living with a generous walk-out basement dedicated to the owner’s bonsai practice. The project was a collaborative design with Amy Dutton Home, guided by a desire for simplicity, connection to nature, and quiet retreat.
A continuous walking deck wraps the home, overlooking the surrounding forest and serving as a daily space for meditation and reflection. Inside, the open floor plan feels light and expansive, with vaulted ceilings and large windows and doors that blur the line between indoors and out.
The centerpiece of the home is the kitchen, anchored by a 12-foot island featuring a waterfall Claro walnut live-edge countertop, thoughtfully paired with soapstone. Custom, in-house cabinetry completes the space, with push-to-open drawers and doors eliminating visible hardware for a clean, seamless aesthetic.
