A custom-built, rustic home set on 221-acres in Parish, New York, has listed for $1.3 million.

The 2,750-square-foot home, which was completed in 1997, has four bedrooms, three bathrooms and has the look and feel of a ski lodge, with tall windows, stonework and red oak floors, Syracuse.com reported. 

“We tried to bring the elegance to the woods,” owner Matt Jarvis told the outlet.

Robin Gedney Lucas of Four Seasons Sotheby’s International Realty has the listing.

The Jarvis family has lived on the property for more than 50 years, when Matt Jarvis’ parents purchased 120 acres in 1970. Matt Jarvis then purchased another 100 acres in 1987 before building their dream home.

The master bedroom on the second floor has walk-in closets and an interior balcony. A 900-square-foot basement includes a living room, kitchenette and a bathroom, the outlet reported.

The owners’ bedroom has his-and-her walk-in closets, and its balcony offers the best “look in the house.”

A pine-paneled walk-out basement adds an additional 900 square feet to the house. It has a living room, small kitchenette, bedroom, and a full bathroom.

The large parcel, which Jarvis told Syracuse.com is “year-round sportsman’s paradise,”l is a major attraction.

The grounds include a covered carport, wine alcove, porch swings, flower gardens, a potting shed, outdoor shower, dog kennels and a “Queen Hut” that has a wood stove and brick pizza oven, according to the outlet.

The property can be used to hike, hunt and cross-country ski and it’s near prime fishing locations, Jarvis said.

“I ski out of my garage and go for miles and miles,” he told the outlet.
