Rill Architects, in collaboration with StoneMill Log & Timber Homes, has custom-designed this stunning farmhouse nestled along a lake in Fredrick County, Maryland. This hand-hewn, chinked log home combines dovetail joints, natural stone, plenty of glass, and other natural elements to create a rustic yet luxurious feel.
A unique feature of this log and stone home is the stone stair tower or silo. The large, detached wooden garage features a workshop area and a potting room, both of which have numerous windows for ample natural light. Multiple stone fireplaces, a glass sitting area, a work area, and a glass breezeway add to the uniqueness of this lakeside home.
