About this home
Set on 13.44 acres with 800 feet of frontage on the scenic Rocky River, this extraordinary timber frame estate is a rare blend of architectural pedigree, natural beauty and enduring craftsmanship.

Zoo. Inside this "Post and Beam" constructed home reveals superb craftsmanship, an array of hardwoods, mahogany windows and doors, tongue and groove cypress ceilings, cedar lined closets throughout and eight skylights that fill the home with natural light. Custom European style windows create a chimney effect ventilation system when paired with the operable skylights, a hallmark of Benson's energy efficient design philosophy.
