A gently rising, fully accessible approach (no AWD required) crests before revealing a stunning descent into the property, where the landscape opens to sweeping mountain views and a breathtaking first glimpse of the home. This beautifully refreshed mountain retreat features 4 bedrooms + loft, 2 spacious living areas, 2 bathrooms, and approximately 2,940 square feet designed to connect seamlessly with its surroundings.
