About This Home

This is an exceptional, one-level home in the desirable, gated community of Diamond Tail Ranch, with reliable fiber internet, hiking/mountain biking trails, & dark, star-filled skies! This custom-built home is located on a private 1.2-acre lot with an open, free-flowing floor plan.
