Seamlessly blending with its natural surroundings, this unique home is set among dramatic granite boulders and towering pines, creating an unparalleled connection to nature. Elevated high on the hillside, the cabin offers breathtaking views of ridgelines, forested valleys, and, on clear days, even the shimmering Pacific Ocean in the distance. The thoughtfully designed split-level floor plan features soaring wood ceilings, clean lines, and abundant natural light throughout. Every room showcases picturesque views through expansive windows that frame the natural beauty outside. The spacious living area is centered around a large Franklin wood-burning stove, perfect for cozy evenings by the fire after a day exploring the mountains. The guest bedroom boasts corner windows that invite you to take in the boulders and trees just outside, while the upstairs primary suite offers a private retreat with panoramic mountain views. The two adjoining bathrooms feature a distinctive sunken tub, blending function with a touch of luxury.
