Country Side Residence

The small house rests beside a gentle stream flowing down from the hilltop, like a lullaby sung by the earth and sky. Modest in form yet utterly captivating, it is built with glossy charred timber and rugged stone—authentic, and charming in its own quiet way. Wide glass windows open to the lush green valley, where sunlight dances on the crystal-clear water, and breezes slip through the leaves as if whispering a greeting. The house leans into nature, nestled in tranquility, with an aged stone-tile roof and dark timber frames—solid yet warmly familiar.


Stepping inside, your feet are welcomed by the warmth of the wooden floor—gentle, inviting, and intimate. The interior carries a nostalgic touch, from the cast-iron stove with its slow, glowing embers to the stone fireplace at the heart of the living room. The colors are as soft as nature’s own breath—moss green, earthy brown, and creamy beige—all blending harmoniously to create a space both cozy and full of tenderness. Light filters through the large glass windows, scattering soft beams over the rustic wooden table, the coarse fabric sofa, and the thick woolen rug.

Behind the house, a small, clear pond shimmers under the sun, surrounded by natural stone and wildflowers blooming freely. Here, one could sink into the cool, refreshing water, embraced by the serene and romantic garden scenery. As sunset descends, the sky slowly turns to hues of pink and purple, gently mirrored on the pond’s surface—like a peaceful painting that stirs an indescribable sense of calm.


This house, with all its stillness and affection, is the perfect retreat to escape life’s noise. Here, every weekend or holiday feels like a moment to slow down—to let the soul merge with nature and rediscover love in the simplest of things.
