Blending Modern Design with Natural Beauty: A Hawktree Home Featuring Coldspring Stone

“The use of natural stone on the exterior was chosen to enhance the home's connection to its environment and to add a timeless, durable element to the design,” says Jessica of J.E. Builders. “The stone’s earthy tones complement the golf course setting, giving the home a sophisticated yet natural feel.”

Lisbon Blend by Halquist was used exclusively on the exterior for its rich textures and earthy hues, creating a striking first impression while blending effortlessly into the surrounding landscape.

“It was important to choose stone that would not only stand out but also integrate with the environment, and Coldspring’s selection was perfect for achieving that balance,” Jessica explains.

As a local and trusted stone provider, Coldspring quickly became a natural partner on the project. “We were looking for a reliable and skilled partner who could meet the demands of our projects, and Coldspring was the perfect fit. Their wide selection of premium materials, along with their commitment to quality, made them an easy choice.”

That local connection offered practical advantages, too. “Being able to take siding products directly to their building helped ensure the tones of the stone and other materials worked seamlessly together,” she adds. “It was such an advantage.”

One of the most rewarding steps of the process was visiting Coldspring’s facility and hand-selecting the stone. “Being able to see the stones in person allowed me to appreciate the unique textures, colors, and natural variations in each piece. This hands-on process gave me a deeper understanding of how each selection would contribute to the home’s overall aesthetic.”

Inside the home, the thoughtful use of stone continues. The fireplace, featuring Fon Du Lac Kensington Blend and a coordinating precast mantle, all supplied by Coldspring, adds warmth and texture to the living space. A built-in bench in the entry features White Satin, while the master bathroom’s serene spa feel is anchored by Talon stone. In the kitchen, leathered Taj Mahal countertops add soft movement and understated elegance.

“Having one supplier for both the interior and exterior stone definitely simplified the process,” says Jessica. “It created a more cohesive design vision and streamlined communication, reducing the potential for delays or errors.”

From the initial selection to final delivery, the collaboration with Coldspring stood out. “Their team was incredibly knowledgeable, helping guide us through the process and ensuring we chose the right materials for the home. They were always available to answer questions and ensure everything was executed seamlessly.”
