44 Darfler Lane

Watch the sunset settle over miles of farm and forest from your hilltop fire ring, then descend to a custom home where thoughtful amenities keep you and guests cozy, year-round. 44 Darfler Lane seamlessly blends contemporary architecture with American farmhouse warmth. Recessed lighting, high ceilings and a center-loft layout create vaulted sense of space while gorgeous hardwood floors and bold invitations to natural light connect every room with the stunning landscape outside.
