Property Description

Experience a true mountain sanctuary unlike anything else on the market. Set on 3.24 acres—and paired with an additional 6.40-acre buildable parcel—this exceptional estate features two remarkable homes surrounded by curated gardens, mature trees, and peaceful natural elements. The current owners have been genuine stewards of the land, enhancing its beauty while preserving its integrity. The property offers a tranquil, park-like setting with perennial gardens, flowering bushes, stone meditation paths, and multiple private outdoor patios. Enjoy six months of cooling shade under the trees and six months of long-range winter views. Extensive stone retaining walls, a commercial-grade rainwater management system, and a private stream with a waterfall and spring-fed sitting pool create an atmosphere of pure serenity. The main residence rises naturally from the landscape with floor-to-ceiling windows that welcome abundant natural light and capture seasonal mountain views. Inside, custom renovations throughout the kitchen, bathrooms, living room, and entryway deliver an open, airy feel with seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Radiant floor heating, mini-splits for year-round comfort, ceiling fans, a Lennox heat-circulating stone fireplace, and passive solar benefits add efficiency and warmth. Additional features include a new roof, a spacious laundry/pantry, a two-car garage with storage, a whole-house generator with an in-ground propane tank, and a water filtration system. The three-season screened porch with Easy Breeze windows extends the living space into nature, inviting moments of quiet and reflection. Follow garden paths to the second residence—an architect-designed Craftsman-style home blending artistry and rustic charm. Oak cabinets and flooring, beautiful windows, wainscotting, and timber-beamed ceilings milled from tulip poplar harvested directly from the property highlight its craftsmanship. A bright office/studio, a wide stone terrace, a small efficient kitchen, built-in bookcases, four bunk beds, a heat pump, ceiling fans, and a basement area with storage and a wine closet enhance its livability. An indoor sauna adds a retreat-like touch. Together, these homes and the surrounding land form a rare mountain haven—private, peaceful, and thoughtfully designed for those who value nature, intention, and timeless craftsmanship. With a deed restriction prohibiting short-term rentals, this property is meant to be truly lived in and cherished.
