Video:  Showing the In-Town Estate as Part of the Community

This architectural storyline film begins at sunrise, revealing the quiet rhythm of the surrounding countryside and town before ascending toward a private estate with two historic companion structures. The narrative unfolds through carefully planned camera movements, progressing room by room to express the home’s balance between privacy and connection. Natural light and measured motion reveal the main floor, upper lofts, and the architectural beauty of exposed beams. As the camera moves outdoors, sweeping perspectives emphasize scale and openness before closing on the two historic homes — grounding the story in heritage and landscape.

Video:  Built Into a Hillside, the Estate Was Set for Fun in the Sun

This storyline video unfolds like a full day in motion at the estate, capturing light, rhythm, and scale. Arcing camera movements reveal the property’s openness, moving from morning calm to a faster tempo that highlights the timber interiors, dining area, kitchen, and great room with panoramic views. The perspective shifts outdoors, sweeping across the pool, cabana, and gathering spaces before dusk arrives. The film closes with evening reflections — the firepit alive against the night sky — as the camera ascends toward the main residence in quiet balance and light.
