About This Home
As of July 2026Perched within the tranquil, gated community of High Vista, this 3,055 SF Mountain home offers a seamless blend of Natural Beauty and Everyday Modern Functionality.
Enter through the light-filled Foyer to find Dramatic Vaulted Wood Ceilings and a Unique Staircase with Custom Rhododendron Branch Balusters— complemented by a matching chandelier—an immediate statement of the home’s Unique Features and Character. Recently refinished Oak Hardwood Floors continue throughout, leading into an Open-Concept Living, Dining, and Kitchen area with bar seating.
The main level lives like a ranch with a Split-3 Bedroom floor plan. A warm and inviting Family Room, anchored by a Stone Surrounded Gas Fireplace with built-in Bookshelves, creates a cozy gathering space. The Primary Suite features a sitting area, his-and-hers closets, windows overlooking the mountains, direct access to the upper deck, and an en-suite bath with dual vanities, a garden tub, and a walk-in shower. Two additional Bedrooms, a Full Bath with an updated walk-in shower, and a Laundry room complete the main level.
The Fully Finished Lower Level offers exceptional flexibility with a large Gathering Room, two additional Flex Rooms suitable for guests or office space, and a wellness/fitness space featuring a sauna.
Outdoor living is equally inviting. Enjoy seasonal mountain views from the elevated upper deck or unwind on the lower-level screened porch. A slate walkway leads to the front entrance, where a quiet sitting area and beautifully landscaped gardens provide a welcoming first impression.
Recent updates include refinished Oak Hardwoods, HVAC system (2023), Roof (2021), Appliances, and a Tankless propane Water heater. Membership in the High Vista Amenities Association (POA) is conveyed with the home, providing access to the pool, tennis/pickleball courts, a neighborhood pub, and a vibrant calendar of social events. Optional membership to the Chestnut Mountain Golf Club is also available.
Conveniently located less than 10 minutes from shopping, dining, the airport, and local breweries—this home offers the perfect balance of privacy, community, and accessibility.
