When I think about the type of home I’d like to retire to after a long day of skiing or horseback riding in the woods, this home in Ellicottville, N.Y. fits the bill. For me, this will happen only in my dreams, but for some lucky homebuyers out there, this timber-frame masterpiece could be their reality.

Listed by agent Amy DeTine of ERA Team VP Real Estate, the 6,900-square-foot timber-frame dwelling is featured on HGTV’s FrontDoor.com “Cool Houses Daily” blog and is part of ERA Real Estate’s International Collection.

Not far from two area ski resorts and various other recreational offerings, the home sits on 100 hilltop acres and boasts “rustic-luxury” in the form of cedar framing, Eastern pine white-washed beams, and a stone fireplace in the great room.Ellicottville cool house2

With precision to detail, custom finishes and furnishings throughout the home were chosen by the homeowner, an interior designer. And in the kitchen, multiple work zones, copper-kissed tile and a Wolf range with pot filler make meal prepping easy and enjoyable.
