“Custom Timber Construction Masterpiece at Private Residence in Boston, Georgia”
Nestled in the serene landscape of Boston, Georgia, a private residence has been transformed into a Southern-style plantation showcase, featuring a series of one-of-a-kind timber construction projects that blend luxury with nature. At the heart of this magnificent estate is a timber boathouse and boardwalk, offering elegant access to the property’s private lake, alongside a 9-foot by 12-foot-wide timber-framed floating dock and deck. This floating oasis is connected to the shore by a sturdy 5-foot by 7-foot aluminum gangway, ensuring seamless integration with the land while providing a durable, stylish entry point.
The decking choice for these structures is Ipe, a high-density hardwood known for its exceptional durability, resistance to decay, and luxurious appearance. Ipe decking provides a stunning finish that complements the natural beauty of the estate while offering an enduring surface that can withstand the elements with grace.
Adding an adventurous element to the property, a unique timber obstacle course has been meticulously crafted from 10-inch gun barrel pilings, challenging, and delighting guests of all ages. Additionally, an 8-foot by 22-foot cart bridge further enhances the property's charm, offering a quaint passage through the estate’s lush landscape.
The final touches to this grand project include a gracefully curved timber screening wall around the pool area, providing privacy and aesthetic appeal, and three elegantly stacked Ipe privacy walls at the residence's entrance, setting a tone of exclusivity and refinement from the moment one enters the property.
This comprehensive timber construction project at a private residence in Boston, Georgia, not only showcases the versatility and beauty of timber and Ipe decking but also reflects Backwoods Bridges' commitment to delivering custom, high-quality outdoor living solutions that harmonize with their surroundings.
