Just steps away, a built-in horseshoe pit adds a fun and casual touch, perfect for laid-back afternoons and gatherings with friends. The front yard includes a low-maintenance rock garden with a small water feature that adds curb appeal and character. The covered deck off the main level takes full advantage of the setting. It is an ideal spot to relax, dine, or watch the sunset over the peaks. Whether you are looking for a full-time home or a weekend escape, this one checks all the boxes with views, access, privacy, and room to grow.
