Built from the Ground Up
The property was purchased in 1989 to develop a summer estate. The owners commissioned architect, Michael Lysczek to design a modern country home. The Vista Blue Cottage was completed in 1991 and the main house was constructed over the next few years (1992-1994). The builder, Marigold Corporation, a commercial property contractor imported materials from around the country. When completed, The Vista Blue emerged as a noteworthy local estate and made headlines as the winner of the Aurora Award for the Best USA Luxury Custom Home in 1996.
Tougher Times
After a transition of ownership, The Vista Blue was rarely occupied and vacant for more than a decade. Due to unfortunate circumstances, the property was not maintained and put up for sale many times over the years. In 2025, the property went to auction, and we were surprised to emerge as the new owners, restorers, and caretakers of The Vista Blue.
Restoring The Vista Blue
While we were excited to restore the homes and the property, the task was daunting as the effort was larger and more complex than we realized. With some of the major projects completed, we know that we will always be taking on new efforts while also taking time to enjoy life at The Vista Blue.
