About this home
Dreaming of a mountain retreat that combines luxury and privacy? This stunning home sits atop 6.5 acres, offering 360-degree long-range views. Entirely rebuilt in 2019 from the foundation up, no detail was overlooked. The modern cabin exterior features D-Log siding, while inside, the main level boasts custom textured tongue-and-groove finishes and trim, all under soaring ceilings with eighteen 6''x8'' textured beams and bright dormers that flood the space with light. Entering the main level, you're greeted by a dramatic stone floor-to-ceiling see-through fireplace—its living room side has a hefty 6x8 beam mantle, and the kitchen side features a Labradorite stone that shifts color with the light.
The kitchen is both elegant and extremely functional, with live-edge granite countertops, a stylish tile backsplash and kick plate, abundant soft-close cabinetry, and hidden island cabinets for treasured items. Meal prep is easy thanks to the double oven and a stove top with pop-up venting. Ample lighting and dimmable switches in the great room create a sophisticated ambiance. Behind a sliding barn door, you'll find a large laundry room with plenty of storage and workspace. A convenient office nook is nearby, and all hallways and doors are extra wide (36'') for easy accessibility.
The main level master suite features vaulted ceilings with dormers for extra light and space, a huge master bath with his-and-hers vanities, 18''x18'' tile, a spacious 24 sq ft shower with multiple heads and a safety bar, plus a soaking tub for spa-like relaxation. There's a large walk-in closet for ample storage. Step out from the master onto a private 9'x20' deck with a seven-person hot tub, featuring multi-colored lights and twinkling lighting around the covered deck—a true oasis with water features and an herb garden nearby.
The main entrance boasts a covered porch perfect for rocking chairs and mountain views. At the rear, open decking leads to a 9'x26' covered and screened porch with planters along the rails and dual ceiling fans. Downstairs, you'll find bedrooms two and three, plus two bonus rooms large enough for king beds or roomy offices. Each room offers generous closet space and high-mounted outlets for TVs. A full bathroom makes this level ideal for guests or extended family. The hallway features tongue-and-groove ceilings, and the spacious rec room is perfect for family gatherings. The dedicated utility room houses a tankless water heater, pressure tank, filtration and softener system, and UV unit to ensure fresh, safe water. The home's central wiring is also accessible here.
Step outside from the rec room to a covered patio that leads to two storage sheds (8'x8' and 8'x11', plus a 6x6 extension) for gardening tools, hobbies, and toys. There's also a covered dog kennel. The grounds are bursting with fruit trees and brambles: cherry, apple, peach, pear, grapes, blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries. Flower beds surround the home, and container gardens await your vegetables. A chicken coop is ready for fresh eggs. At the front, carved granite steps lead to a wood-burning fire pit—perfect for enjoying breathtaking mountain and valley views, with beautiful foliage just beginning to turn.
Despite the peaceful seclusion, you're close to amenities: a grocery store is just 10 minutes away, and Walmart/Lowes are 20 minutes by car. The property features underground electric lines, a second gate at the home's entrance, and powered gate access for the community. A 1,000-gallon propane tank supplies the fireplace, water heater, and a whole-house Generac generator (22KW) with automatic switch-over during outages. The lower acreage includes a spring-fed pond with fish and a nearby creek. There's also potential for additional garage space or RV/boat storage along the driveway.
