About This Home

Nestled on 6.77 unrestricted acres, with the option to purchase an additional 4 or 8 acres, this expansive mountain retreat is a rare find. While the approach to the property winds along a modest gravel road, this understated entry only heightens the sense of discovery as you arrive at the estate. Designed for those who appreciate subtle sophistication, the home unfolds its charm with every detail. This thoughtfully designed home offers three levels of spacious living, featuring six bedrooms, five full bathrooms, and two half bathrooms — perfect for a family estate, a second home, or entertaining in grand style. On the main level, a chef's dream awaits with a full kitchen equipped with a commercial-sized pantry and everything needed to create culinary masterpieces. The living spaces flow seamlessly, with a formal dining room, sitting area, and a cozy living room with panoramic mountain views. Just outside the front door, a stunning outdoor stone fireplace creates a warm and welcoming space to gather while a short trail leads to a peaceful waterfall. The wraparound decks, complete with a screened porch, create an inviting space to take in the long-range mountain vistas. The main level also features one of the home's three primary suites, as well as a convenient laundry facility. The upper level continues to impress with an oversized bonus room above the garage — ideal for a playroom, creative space, or game room — alongside a family room and three additional bedrooms. The lower level is designed for versatility and privacy. A full two-bedroom apartment with a full kitchen and private exterior accessible entrance offers ideal accommodations for extended family or guests or may serve as a rental opportunity. This level also includes a family room, extra laundry facilities, and direct access to a covered porch. Built-in 2013 with every detail considered, this home blends comfort and efficiency with modern upgrades such as solar panels, keeping monthly power costs remarkably low at an average of $15. Additional features include a 50-year roof, a 22-kW generator, two HVAC systems with five multi-zone applications, a central vacuum system, a 1500-gallon propane tank, and a 50-amp hookup for an electric car or RV. The oversized two-car garage is built to accommodate a camper or car lift. Experience the perfect balance of luxury, functionality, and breathtaking natural beauty, and enjoy the unmatched lifestyle this incredible mountain estate offers.
