Meandering paths lead through open land and wooded areas, where a gentle creek, koi pond, barn, and greenhouse create an environment ideal for gardening, hobby farming, or simply enjoying the rhythms of the outdoors. Winter mountain views add a beautiful seasonal backdrop, enhancing the sense of retreat and tranquility. The home features three bedrooms and four and a half baths, with an office thoughtfully arranged on a single level for comfortable, easy living. Light-filled living spaces connect seamlessly to a screened-in porch—an inviting spot for morning coffee, afternoon breezes, or evenings spent listening to the creek and watching wildlife pass by. A detached garage with studio space offers flexibility for creative work, a home office, or guest accommodations, while additional flex space presents the opportunity to expand into finished living area. With a barn for storage or animals, a greenhouse for year-round growing, and acres of land to explore, this property is perfectly suited for those seeking space, self-sufficiency, and a slower pace without sacrificing comfort.
