It sits right on the edge of a mountain so that you feel as if you are in a tree house. The absolutely gorgeous landscaping welcomes you to the front door. Three levels provide quite a bit of privacy and places to talk intimately with friends and family. On the main level you find a completely open concept design. Enjoy easy conversation between the kitchen, dining area, and living room. Sit around the wood burning fireplace as you look out the wall of windows at the miles of mountain layers and stunning sunsets. This home has 4 decks to enjoy the views.
