Timeless Architecture

One of the Applegate Valley’s most compelling architectural homes, designed and built by Jack Resner, the residence is thoughtfully positioned to capture views while maintaining exclusive privacy.

Inside, the experience is defined by craftsmanship and scale, creating an atmosphere that feels both refined and inviting. The great room is anchored by a wall of floor to ceiling prow front windows with a distinctive arched design that frames expansive views of the valley and surrounding mountains, letting in abundant light with little heat due to its north-facing orientation. Soaring vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and tongue and groove detailing are complemented by a series of timber trusses that create a strong sense of mountain chalet character. A floor to ceiling stone fireplace with a wood mantle serves as a focal point, while radius windows, detailed trim work, built in elements, and custom Big Leaf maple floors add warmth, depth, and continuity throughout the home.
