An extraordinary private compound on Boyd Pond in Bristol, where 15 of 18.5 acres are held in permanent conservation easement, ensuring this sanctuary remains protected in perpetuity. Two thoughtfully designed buildings. Complete privacy. This is legacy real estate. The main residence is a Deck House, the acclaimed New England post and beam design that has drawn architecture-minded owners for more than half a century. Each Deck House is individually designed for its site. The structural logic defines the architecture where an exposed timber frame carries the roof, freeing the exterior walls to become glass. Mahogany trim and joinery, plus tongue and groove wood ceilings run uninterrupted from room to room. Living spaces maximize pond views and natural light, with walls of glass dissolving the boundary between interior and shoreline the signature Deck House experience of living within the setting rather than looking out at it. The first-floor primary suite features a private ensuite bath and adjoining wellness room. Two additional bedrooms on the upper level share a full bath. Open concept kitchen, dining and living space flows onto a screened porch overlooking Boyd Pond. The lower-level family room offers flexible space for guests or extended family. Two car attached garage with direct entry. Tree Top is a detached two-story structure with a first-floor office and two rooms and a full bath on the second floor. A second-floor deck overlooks the surrounding forest. Deck Houses have proven remarkably durable. The Acorn Deck House Company of Acton, MA, retains original plans and still produces matching components, a rare assurance for a new owner. This property represents an increasingly rare opportunity: significant private acreage with water frontage, permanent conservation protection, and an architecturally distinguished home drawn specifically for this land. For buyers seeking a retreat that will endure unchanged, this Boyd Pond sanctuary delivers.
