The multi-level home sits perched on Monhegan, a small, rocky island in the Gulf of Maine.
The multi-level property offers a private rural oasis, all while being less than two hours from Manhattan. As tribute to his aerospace training, Kornley designed the home to feature a sweeping front overhang and angled garage, reminiscent of an airplane wing.
Together with timber cladding and insulated with hemp inside wood fibre panels, 'green' exterior walls and a sedum roof promote breathability of the structure.
Located three miles outside of Santa Fe, the sprawling estate offers a convenient desert escape, complete with thriving gardens, lush landscaping, and multiple shaded areas.
New landscaping and exterior lighting surround the pool in the backyard, complete with a partially covered outdoor dining area.
The built-in sofa anchors the living room and faces the existing fireplace. The Leather Oval Chair with a red steel base sits off to the side, and the coffee table was fashioned by attaching vintage steel legs to another tile sample board.
“The Floating Farmhouse also operates as a well-established luxury vacation rental and film/photo shoot location, providing substantial annual revenue,” says the listing agent.
The dining area showcases the beams and glass that drew the owners to this home.
