About this House
What's unique:River aspen treesOpen floor planGlass-enclosed showerLush patio gardensEast-facing deckWest-facing sunroom
Nestled within a majestic grove of mature Ponderosa pines and Larch trees, this artisan-crafted home is a serene masterpiece, thoughtfully designed to harmonize with its natural surroundings. From the moment you arrive, a handcrafted Honduran Mahogany front door sets the tone for the quality and craftsmanship found throughout.
The spacious foyer welcomes you with a picture window framing the lush patio gardens, while intricate inlay wood flooring and a gracefully curved staircase trimmed in Vermont Cherry and Maple immediately capture your attention. Fir beams and ceilings, paired with an open floor plan, lend a timeless craftsman ambiance to the entire home.
Walls of windows in every room, framed in clear fir, invite abundant natural light and seamless views of the surrounding forest, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The recently refinished Maple and Cherry hardwood floors gleam underfoot, adding depth and elegance to each space.
A sun-drenched west-facing sunroom offers tranquil views of the backyard and opens through French doors to a beautifully designed stone patio. Here, River Aspen trees provide dappled shade over a serene seating area, surrounded by sweeping lawns and vibrant, deer-protected flower gardens that bloom from spring through fall.
At the heart of the home lies a chef-inspired kitchen reminiscent of Julia Child's own efficiently designed with new appliances, abundant workspace, and bar-style seating for gathering and conversation. Adjacent, the dining room offers breathtaking views of Mount Aeneas in the Jewel Basin and is anchored by a charming wood stove atop a slate hearth.
The cozy living room continues the mountain-view theme, with another wood stove this one a classic Jotul offering warmth and ambiance during winter months. French doors lead to an east-facing deck, ideal for enjoying morning tea or evening gatherings under the stars.
Upstairs, the private master suite is a true sanctuary. East-facing windows capture the morning light, while skylights and generous closets enhance both comfort and functionality. A private sitting area and deck overlook the gardens below, and the ensuite bath features a Jacuzzi tub and glass-enclosed shower with stunning treetop and forest views.
Two additional bedrooms upstairs provide ample closet space and share a full bath. The third bedroom an open loft design offers flexibility for use as a yoga studio, home office, or creative space.
A detached two-car garage and adjacent garden shed provide practical storage, while a large, fenced "farm-to-table" vegetable garden makes this property a dream for gardening enthusiasts. The half-basement offers additional space perfect for canning supplies, tools, or seasonal storage.
This extraordinary home is more than a residence it's a peaceful retreat, where nature and craftsmanship exist in perfect balance.
