“In an age of electronic hyperbole and information overload the ‘folk’ forms found in the handmade houses and barns of the south seem to possess a clear and halting essence. The plain houses and “work” buildings of the American South are simple, direct and beautiful…It is their essence that gives rise to the modern house [Guyon calls] New Native.” The New Native Concept. Guyon Architects.
The gravitas of a New Native home by Scott Guyon is undeniable. Deeply rooted in the vernacular structures found in the agrarian South, these much-admired homes harmonize contemporary design with rich tradition.
This architecturally-significant offering rests on ten Fayette County acres along Falcon Wood Way. Built to evoke historic I-houses, the home includes the center hall and a three-gabled exterior found in earlier frame farmhouses. The center hall runs the width of the house beginning with the welcoming entry and culminating in an oversized brick hearth that rises to a vaulted ceiling.
“The New Native House combines the folk forms of yesteryear (dogtrot, saddlebag, & shotgun styles) with a high level of contemporary design. It is crafted of simple materials that are authentic to nature and blend with their natural surroundings.” The New Native Concept. Guyon Architects.
The residence is decidedly livable, with appealing symmetry, abundant light, and warm natural materials – including an expanse of white oak hardwood floors and warm maple casework & doors. Built for artists, the residence offers ample opportunities for creative work and to display treasured pieces.
The soaring great room allows for a variety of inviting seating configurations and opens to the chef’s kitchen. Elegantly simple maple cabinetry beams alongside a gas Jenn Air range & Bosch appliances. Meals are shared at the sunny kitchen peninsula or in the front-facing formal dining room.
An enclosed glass breezeway seamlessly joins the home with an attached garage. There you’ll find another bedroom & bath for guests.
A first-floor primary bedroom allows for ease of living. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, two baths, and a further living space for working or relaxing.
The home’s ten acres encompasses three three-plank fenced paddocks, dry stacked stone walls, and established gardens with paths, mature trees, & perennials. A metal structure adds utility for storage or workspace.
Following its completion in 2000, this residence has been featured in the local media, HGTV, & the richly detailed New Native Houses by Scott Guyon. Offered for the first time, the home presents an opportunity to inherit a Bluegrass icon.
