About This Home

As of June 2025

Escape to a world of luxury and serenity in this architecturally stunning 2BDRM/1.75BTH. Brilliantly designed by local architect, Robert Preifer, and built by local contractor, Bob Muir, this dual primary suite mountain retreat is a seamless blend of rustic charm and modern sophistication. The warm, welcoming ambiance brings together natural elements of rich wood beams, clear-heart redwood and textured stonework, all w/sleek lines and contemporary finishes. Inside, the open layout spans 2,082 sq. ft. w/expansive windows that flood the home w/natural light, framing breathtaking panoramic views from each and every room. Cozy up to the wood-burning stove or sit in the solarium bathed in sunlight. A step outside offers spacious decks w/expansive views, a soothing jacuzzi, meandering pathways and a high water fall that pours into the self-sustained koi pond. Additional features include attached 2-car garage with dedicated workspace, generous under-house storage, a firewood shed, and the kind of seclusion that makes everyday life feel like a retreat. And all of this just a stroll from town. This home is the perfect fusion of modern comfort and the timeless charm of mountain living.
