The spring was already there.
We built a life around it.
Let the water do its work.
Tucked down a private gravel drive, past a glistening pond and fountain, there's a place that most people drive right past and never know exists. The ponds. The spring. The sound of water moving through both. Between the two ponds stands a vine-covered pergola Chris built by hand — with a stream running beneath it and a cascading waterfall he shaped from stone. People arrive stressed and leave changed. We didn't engineer that — the land did. We just built around it.

Hand-built by Chris. Water runs beneath it.
Chris doesn't describe what he's going to build. He walks a piece of land, goes quiet for a while, and then starts. What emerges is always more than what you imagined.
After a long career at Suzuki right here in Rome, Chris made Hidden Springs his full-time focus. The vine-covered pergola between the two ponds — with its hand-built stream and cascading waterfall. The spring pool garden. The fire pit area. The private dock. Every outdoor space was designed and built by his hands — shaped around the natural features of the land rather than imposed on them. He restored a century-old spring-fed plunge pool back to its original flow. He sees things other people don't.
Hidden Springs is Chris's portfolio. If you've ever looked at a piece of land and imagined something that isn't there yet — he might be exactly who you need.

"The ponds, the running water, the front porch — we couldn't believe how serene it was. We sat outside the entire first morning just listening. By the end of the weekend we were already trying to figure out when we could come back."
"This place stopped us mid-conversation multiple times. The spring pool is completely real — ice cold, crystal clear, and more beautiful than the photos. Laura thought of every single thing. We're coming back for our anniversary."
"We've stayed at a lot of Airbnbs. This is genuinely different. You can feel that the people who built this actually love it. The loft, the porch, the sound of the water at night — we didn't want to leave."
"We came for an anniversary and left feeling like we'd been somewhere genuinely sacred. The waterfall between the ponds, the spring pool at dusk, waking up to mist on the water — Hidden Springs is unlike anything we've experienced."
