Two main-level suites include spa-style bathrooms and private outdoor access, with one offering a vaulted glassed-in sitting room and wet bar—ideal as a master or luxury guest space. The lower level includes two additional bedrooms, a full bath, laundry, and a walk-out to the oversized two-car garage, while the spacious loft provides a flexible area for an office, playroom, or media space with access to a covered deck overlooking the forest and peaks. Four separate outdoor living areas allow you to enjoy the changing seasons in comfort and privacy.
