About This Home
Located in the enchanting neighborhood of Gingercake Acres—where neighbors still gather for potlucks, holiday celebrations, and lively games of tennis or pickleball—sits a retreat that feels more like a dream than a home. Gingercake Acres itself offers a new pool, updated clubhouse, playgrounds, and trails, but it’s the sense of community that makes this neighborhood truly special. Within it, you’ll discover a one-of-a-kind residence designed to capture the spirit of a luxury treehouse.
This remarkable property was crafted by an apprentice of one of the nation’s top treehouse builders, and it shows in every detail. From the moment you enter the foyer, you’re greeted by soaring ceilings and hand-crafted beams etched with natural character markings—details that instantly create both drama and warmth. The living room is anchored by massive windows that dissolve the line between indoors and outdoors, allowing the wooded, park-like setting to become part of everyday life. A lofted sleeping space floats above, adding both function and whimsy, while a newly installed wood stove radiates warmth through the heart of the home.
The dining area is a showpiece in itself, centered around a custom built-in table framed by massive windows. Meals here feel like picnics in the forest, with ever-changing scenery: vibrant summer leaves, fiery autumn color, and in winter, glimpses of mountain peaks that sparkle beneath the Eastern sky. The kitchen blends sleek modern style with rustic woodsy charm. A spacious coffee bar makes mornings a delight, while updated cabinetry, appliances, and thoughtful layout keep the design both beautiful and functional.
Upstairs, the private primary suite feels like a treetop sanctuary. Expansive windows frame a view that changes with each season, giving the sensation of waking in a treehouse while still enjoying every modern luxury. Whether you prefer the leafy greens of summer, the brilliant reds and golds of fall, or the peaceful beauty of snow-dusted branches, this space offers an ever-changing masterpiece outside your window.
The magic continues outdoors. A covered deck provides the perfect perch to enjoy morning coffee, while evenings are best spent gathered around the fire pit beneath a canopy of stars. The landscape is complemented by the presence of native plants lovingly added by the current owners. Every corner of the grounds offers beauty and tranquility, with spaces for entertaining, relaxing, or simply being immersed in nature.
What sets this home apart, beyond its design and setting, are the thoughtful updates completed within the last three years. From the roof to the mini-splits, no detail has been overlooked. The result is a retreat that feels timeless yet turn-key, full of handcrafted artistry but ready for effortless everyday living.
This residence is more than just a home; it’s an experience. Whether you’re looking for a romantic escape, a short-term rental with undeniable appeal, or your own forever retreat where nature and living come seamlessly together, this property delivers it all. The handcrafted stairs, massive windows, hand-hewn logs, and curated finishes tell a story of care, creativity, and craftsmanship. A true artist's paradise.
Opportunities like this are rare. Gingercake Acres is a community that values both connection and privacy, where residents thrive on neighborly bonds but cherish their wooded, park-like surroundings. To own a home that embodies the spirit of a luxury treehouse within such a neighborhood is truly exceptional.
Come discover for yourself how every detail of this enchanting home—from its soaring beams to its seasonal views—was designed to inspire wonder. This is not just a property; it’s a place where memories are made, where every sunrise and season feels like a gift, and where nature and comfort blend into one extraordinary lifestyle.
