Overlooking Pearrygin Lake with dramatic mountain and valley views and buffered by public land on two sides.
Welcome to Hilltop, a 3600 square-foot masterpiece perched above the valley on 40 private acres with unique access through Pearrygin Lake State Park.
A grand entrance with views of the valley beyond that beckon.
The entry courtyard is flanked by the four distinct sections of the home, and is landscaped with drought-resistant plantings, including many natives.
Enter directly into the main living area with a wall of windows opposite showcasing dramatic valley and mountain views. A Danish brand wood stove (Rais) keeps off the winter chill while two large glass sliding doors opposite offer access to the cement patio beyond and allow cooling breezes in. Custom metal see-through screens slide across the west-facing wall of windows for interior shade while maintaining the view on hot summer afternoons.
The living area connects directly to the kitchen and dining area. This space truly comes alive after dark, with the soft lighting bringing out the warmth of all the reclaimed Douglas-fir finish work.
This generous dining nook is large enough for a table to sit up to 8. Another sliding door allows you to bring the sounds of nature in.
Dine with views of the Sawtooth Mountains.
Chefs kitchen finished with granite and reclaimed Douglas-fir offers plenty of space for working socializing and storing everything you need.
Covered patio off the kitchen for dining al fresco and grilling in all seasons.
The kitchen appliances include a Viking range/oven, Sub-Zero fridge/freezer, and Bosch dishwasher as well as built-in warming drawer, wine cooler and convection microwave.
Back into the great room with views that don't stop, built in shelves and cupboards, a large river-rock wall and a beautiful granite footing for the Rais wood stove.
This screened living area showcases views of Mt. Gardner and the Pasayten for comfortable outdoor living in all seasons. A hot tub just outside calls for a soak on snowy days and star-filled nights - and if you time it right you will have aurora views as you soak.
A wall of windows between the interior and the screened porch allow light to flow through the entire space morning and night.
The dramatic hallway of the northwest facing section of the home with access to the primary suite and office upstairs, or downstairs to a second bedroom and bath, laundry and utilities, and a second office at the end of the hall.
Looking through the primary bedroom to the bathroom and walk-in closet.
Primary bedroom with windows paired through the hallway to allow in the morning light. Built in bed complete with night stands and separate switches for dedicated reading lights.
A window seat with views of Pearrygin Lake and Isabella Ridge, complete with a sliding door to let in cooling breezes and birdsong.
The primary bath has just the right mix of stone and glass, concrete and wood for a clean aesthetic. Double sinks, frosted glass toilet and shower compartments, and a wonderful soaking tub.
Vews of Isabella Ridge above the bath, and you'll catch a glimpse of Pearrygin Lake every time you walk to the toilet.
A closet with a view! There is an abundance of storage here - we aren't showing you all of it because we wanted you to see the lake!
Adjacent to the primary bedroom, the small office offers a quiet place to focus. Leave it as it is, or remove the built-ins to return it to it's permitted status as a bedroom!
Down a half-flight of stairs, the second bedroom offers ground level views looking over the Pasayten. There is a rather large buck who likes to bed down right up against these windows on hot afternoons.
Beautiful and functional 3/4 bath with exterior access - there is an outdoor shower just around the corner on the cement patio, and the hot tub is just a few steps beyond.
A utilitarian space that feels good to be in, with beautiful views and custom cabinets built with reclaimed wood.
The larger of the two offices, this space has plenty of storage and work space, wrap-around views, and a built-in yoga wall just out of the frame to the left. As with the other office, this too can be repurposed as a bedroom as was originally envisioned in the architectural drawings.
A serene and quiet work space with views up the Chewuch River valley and down to Pearrygin Lake.
Looking back down light-filled the hallway toward the screened porch. Stairs down to the three car garage are just to the left, with a convenient bench and built in shelves to catch you and your things when you arrive home. Up the stairs to the left is a flexible-space studio or 1 bedroom apartment.
This space can function as a stand-alone studio apartment with it's own bathroom and private entrance off of the courtyard.
With a gorgeous lake view, this can either be the bedroom portion of the studio, or have a larger living space if utilized as a 1-bedroom....
Private courtyard entrance to the studio portion of the apartment.
3/4 bath in the apartment.
This room has it's own private courtyard entrance, and can be part of the apartment making it a 1-bedroom or kept separate.
This view does not get old.
Exterior stairs leading from the garage/parking area up to the courtyard. There are interior stairs as well.
Early morning sun hits Mt Gardner and Lucky Jim Bluff with the arrowleaf balsamroot in full bloom. A classic Methow Valley spring morning. If this view doesn't call you out of bed early we don't know what will.
Looking southwest - although there is private land in that direction, and close, the adjacent lots have been developed in such a way that creates privacy in all directions.
From high above, looking down on Hilltop; see the access road through state park land, part of the trail system around the lake, and Pearrygin Lake itself - a popular summer destination!
Nestled into the landscape beneath a big dark sky, soft light and lots of wood create a feeling of retreat.
Perfectly positioned to experience the beauty of the occasional aurora light show.
