Once you're here, you may not want to leave-and you don't have to, w/one of the five bedrooms set up as a state-of-the-art office. The architectural details combine cozy & elegant, from hardwood floors to dramatic ceilings & windows that let nature & light stream through the house. You & your guests can relax in the spacious living room around the fireplace, in the den (with its own fireplace), or head out to one of the wraparound decks or pool, hot tub, & fire pit. Your friends & family can watch you create gourmet meals in the chef-grade kitchen before you retreat upstairs to the bedrooms overlooking the open floor plan. Your main suite has its own fireplace & deck access, as well as a spa-like bathroom & walk-in closet so no matter how many friends & family are happily filling the house, you'll always have your own retreat within this private paradise.
