Natural and industrial elements combine in this contemporary farmhouse home

With any ambitious house design project, there are usually highs and lows in almost equal measure. For this new-build modern farmhouse on a vast plot, however, the high points are what will endure for everyone involved. For the homeowners, architects, contractors, and interior designer Adam Hunter, who saw the 383-acre estate evolve from plan to completion, it was the realization of a dream home.

‘This project presented an exciting challenge: reimagining rustic design by blending its raw, textured qualities with industrial elements, without losing the warmth and inviting nature of the space,’ says Adam. ‘The goal was to refine traditional rustic aesthetics, incorporating sleek metallic touches that added depth and modernity while maintaining a cohesive, welcoming feel. Through thoughtful material choices, layered textures, and strategic contrasts, I was able to achieve a balance that feels both innovative and true to the essence of rustic charm.

The farmhouse is set in a haven of natural beauty, with an orchard, picturesque pond and lake, multiple walking bridges over natural springs, a private swimming hole, and miles of hiking and biking trails. ‘It was essential to create a thoughtful program that seamlessly connected the stunning landscape with purposeful design,’ says designer Adam.

That connection inside and out is very much in evidence in Adam’s great room ideas. It’s a bright and sunny space, and features 38-foot vaulted ceilings designed to give a sense of awe. ‘Anchoring the space is a Holly Hunt sofa and a stunning feature wall adorned with Jane Hallworth’s Aquila Constellation lighting fixture, adding a celestial touch of drama,’ says Adam. ‘A pair of custom two-tone beveled metal fireplace surrounds by Amuneal create balance and warmth in the sitting and dining areas.’

Conveniently positioned next to the kitchen and with all the drama of the vaulted barn ceilings above it, the dining space makes its presence known in the context of the open-plan great room.
