The stunning main house by Kanner Architects (2011) is surrounded with sliding glass walls under the open beamed ceilings that open to scenery in all directions. A gourmet kitchen, deluxe master suite, and guest bedrooms are all finished with exquisite detail, materials, & craftsmanship. All main areas are bathed in natural light and lead out to massive decks, huge grassy lawns, and the pool area with fire pit and exotic wood sundecks. Venture further onto the grounds beyond a horse arena to the detached casita with wood burning stove and office waiting to serve as a studio for art, music, or your practice. Return to the main house passing private terraces that overlook the Backbone Trail, rock formations, wheat fields, and grasslands.
