Every once in a while, a property gets the land and privacy exactly right. The turnkey Highland Retreat pairs sky-lit interiors, a bright & warm entertaining space, the most unique bathroom designed by Dong Sum Kim, with a private, gated approach on a vast, usable lot; quiet, intentional, and scaled for an upsized family.

Car lovers will enjoy an attached 24'x32' two-car garage plus a detached carport lift automotive workspace (car lift included) & lower barn accessed from the lower point of the lot. The setting is quiet and private, with open sky, mature trees, and room to garden, work, and park.
