The Clearing — Complete Plan Package

$5,200.00

The Clearing was designed as a warm, design-forward retreat home — simple in form, but rich in feeling.

With clean gable lines, a connected garage, generous deck, vaulted living spaces, and a first-floor primary suite, The Clearing blends New England restraint with the ease of modern lake and mountain living.

It’s a home for gathering, resting, arriving, and exhaling. The open kitchen, dining, and living areas are designed to feel expansive and connected, while the private bedroom zones, entry, laundry, and storage spaces keep daily life practical and grounded.

Thoughtful without being fussy. Elevated without being overbuilt. Designed for real life, beautiful views, and seasons of use.

Clear, timeless rooflines with strong New England character

First-floor primary suite for long-term livability
