Pinnacle Farms sets a new standard for equestrian luxury, featuring one of North America’s largest timber-framed structures built in the last century. This 90,000-square-foot barn, designed by Mark P. Finlay Architects, AIA, showcases a stunning 40-foot-tall rotunda at its core—a masterwork of carpentry that employs only dowels to create its intricate truss system, eschewing nails entirely. The facility serves as a sanctuary for eighty prized Friesian horses, thoughtfully designed with separate wings for mares and stallions. It includes a fully equipped vet lab, a caretaker’s apartment, and a farm manager’s office, ensuring comprehensive on-site management and care. The blend of traditional craftsmanship with modern facilities defines Pinnacle Farms as not just a home for horses but a pinnacle of architectural beauty and functionality.
