Property Description

Tucked away on 8 private acres, this magical mountain retreat is a rare blend of authentic farmhouse character, thoughtful craftsmanship, and serene natural beauty. Surrounded by private trails, a tranquil water feature with koi pond, and long-range mountain views, this property offers a peaceful escape that feels both artsy and timeless. The main farmhouse welcomes you with rustic cedar siding, a sweeping wraparound front porch, and a metal roof that complements the natural setting. Inside, vaulted and beamed ceilings, hardwood floors, skylights, and walls of windows flood the home with light and views of the property. The heart of the home is the stunning kitchen, featuring a massive island, quartz countertops, farmhouse sink, Bertazzoni oven with statement vent hood, new refrigerator, drawer dishwasher, microwave, white cabinetry with under-cabinet lighting, and a wall pantry-perfect for gathering and entertaining. A walk-in pantry with a professional Frigidaire side-by-side refrigerator and dedicated coffee station adds both function and charm. The dining area showcases a stone gas fireplace beneath vaulted ceilings and skylights, while the oversized family room is wrapped in windows and anchored by another gas fireplace and soaring beamed ceiling. An office, powder room, mudroom, and laundry room complete the main level. The primary suite on the main level is a true retreat, offering a beamed ceiling, private access to the front porch, and a beautifully updated bath with soaking tub, glass shower, double vanity, marble flooring, and a huge walk-in closet. Upstairs, two bedrooms and a bonus room-each with three closets and vaulted ceilings-share a full bath, providing flexible space for guests, family, or creative use. Adding to the property's uniqueness is a three-car garage with workshop space and a charming studio apartment above. This private space features vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, kitchenette, laundry, a full bath with antique vanity and glass shower, cozy fireplace, lookout windows, and a screened porch where you can look at the mountains in the distance-ideal for guests, rental income, or an inspiring creative studio. Outdoor living is just as exceptional, with wood decks, a hot tub/lap pool combination, greenhouse, covered RV parking, driveway and parking for 6+ guests, and a full wood shop beneath the home. Every detail has been designed to honor the land while creating a quiet, beautiful, and soulful getaway. This is more than a home-it's a private mountain sanctuary, rich in character, peaceful by nature, and truly one of a kind. Bed/bath count includes the one bedroom/one bath studio apartment.
