Shepherd Lake House

Approaching the residence, the modern farmhouse presents itself as a modest single‑story home, quietly grounded in its setting. Rich in materiality and international influences, the front elevation gently curves, embracing the landscape it faces. Crossing the threshold, you immediately sense the main floor’s elevation as you find yourself suspended above a pristine lake. A warm, central fireplace becomes the first focal point, soon dramatically counterbalanced by the shimmering water beyond. Anchored into the sloping terrain, a repurposed silo houses a sculptural stair that leads you down to the lake’s edge. Throughout the home, every space is deliberately oriented to capture the surrounding scenery, using expansive windows and vaulted ceilings to draw the eye outward to the views, careful never to interfere with the line of sight. Across a discreet, private carport, a secondary dwelling offers guests a fully self‑sufficient retreat, mirroring the main residence’s connection to light, landscape, and comfort.
