Simsbury, CT

Mountain-top residence framed by meadows, birch groves, and panoramic valley views.

Set high on Talcott Mountain, this private residence overlooks the Farmington River Valley, with a long pea stone drive framed by mature canopy trees guiding the approach. The entry sequence emphasizes simplicity and drama, drawing the eye toward distant views.

The surrounding landscape balances structure and softness — a birch grove, wildflower meadow with meandering paths, and a broad lawn offer spaces for quiet reflection and family gathering. Perennial beds encircle the home, positioned for year-round interest from both inside and out. Every element of the design is situated to celebrate the site’s panoramic setting and to foster a graceful connection between architecture and the surrounding land.
