$8,495,000 - Grants Pass, OR
503 Quail Lane Grants Pass, OR - Greeted by a striking European-inspired arched bridge, the entry is flanked by impressive stone columns and a soothing water feature. Ornamental metal paneling spans the entry beyond the arch, marking a grand, yet refined arrival experience. The paved driveway curves gracefully through the grounds and transitions to flame-textured Bluestone, setting the tone for the home’s artisan qualities. Meticulously landscaped grounds, draw the eye toward this glorious estate and its distinctive English Country architectural lines. Built in 2002 and offering over 5,200 square feet of finely crafted living space, this exceptional residence combines timeless architecture with enduring craftsmanship and an exceptionally private, riverfront park setting. Designed by architect Mike Casella, this home reflects a profound commitment to craftsmanship, material integrity, and architectural heritage. Every detail, from stair spindles, trim profiles, and millwork was hand-drawn by the architect, pulling inspiration from the work of Greene & Greene and Stickley, with influences of both traditional American and Japanese joinery that define the early 20th-century Arts & Crafts movement. While the exterior presents as a classic English Country House, the interior evolved with strong Victorian themes through a three-year collaboration with award winning designer Carolyn Allman, who helped guide the selection of every finish, fixture, and surface. Highlights include hand-carved Carrara marble fireplaces from the same quarry used by Michelangelo, commissioned murals, and an authentic Tiffany stained glass window. The result is a residence rich in hand-selected and custom-fabricated materials. Set above the Rogue River on a private, elevated site, the home’s orientation—along with floor-to-ceiling windows— was designed to maximize natural light and capture uninterrupted views of the setting and the Wild and Scenic section of the Rogue River. Upon entering this beautiful home, guests are welcomed into a formal entry foyer that introduces the home’s rich design and architectural detailing. The living room is centered around a Rumford-style fireplace with a carved Carrara marble surround and features solid Walnut flooring, custom built-ins, and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame views of the incredible setting. Adjacent to the living room is the light-filled formal dining room. Ideal for entertaining, it brings the outdoors in and also functionals beautifully for indoor entertaining. Thoughtfully designed built-ins for serving, custom millwork, and oversized doors that open to the rear patio, lush landscape and views of the river. The kitchen is a chef’s delight, outfitted with custom hardwood cabinetry, imported limestone countertops, a 4 burner DCS cooktop and griddle as well as double ovens, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator. This inviting space is anchored by a tiered butcher block island.The adjacent breakfast nook features radius windows overlooking the gazebo, another water feature and the meticulous grounds.
