Surrounded by lush landscaping and manicured gardens, this stunning retreat blends natural beauty with luxurious living. The main level is designed for entertaining, starting with an expansive chef’s kitchen that boasts double ovens, a pot filler, a warming drawer, a mixer lift, and custom pull-out cabinet features. The kitchen also includes a wet bar with a wine cooler, a coffee bar, a cozy sitting area with a gas fireplace, and a large picture window that frames the incredible mountain views. Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining room provides ample space for gatherings and leads into the living room, which features a soaring wood-beamed ceiling, a stone wood-burning fireplace, and an authentic antler chandelier. A large carpeted loft overlooks the living space, adding additional versatility. The primary suite offers a private sanctuary with a gas fireplace, a painted wood ceiling, built-in closets, and a screened porch. The luxurious ensuite bathroom has a jetted tub, heated floors, a walk-in shower with a rain showerhead, and extra dual fixtures. An office with built-in bookcases and one additional full bathroom complete the main level. The lower level is designed for relaxation and entertaining, with a media room featuring coffered wood ceilings, a wet bar, and access to the terrace. This level also includes three bedrooms with painted wood ceilings and two full bathrooms. Two of the bedrooms open directly to the terrace, one of which offers ensuite privacy. A spacious two-and-a-half-car garage with a workshop space features custom hemlock garage doors. From the terrace, stone-lined paths lead to manicured perennial gardens, raised beds, and a stacked stone outdoor kitchen. From May through October, the gardens burst with color, and blueberry bushes add a seasonal charm. Stroll along the illuminated paths or relax in thoughtfully placed seating areas nestled among the blooms. Detailed artistry and refined design are evident, with arched doorways, solid alder wood doors, heart pine floors, and stained cypress ceilings on the screened porches. Additional highlights include a 400-foot-deep well with a 25-gallon-per-minute flow. Offered furnished, this remarkable home is a mountain retreat ready for immediate enjoyment.
