Designed by Kristina Held, a specialist in passive home design, the residence nods to the region’s historic tobacco barns while embracing a contemporary aesthetic. Clean lines, soaring ceilings, and floor-to-ceiling glass invite natural light to pour in, framing the landscape like living art. Inside, the open-plan great room flows seamlessly from the vaulted living space to the dining area and chef’s kitchen, complete with quartzite counters and premium appliances.
