Escape to your own private 16-acre retreat, where the sights and sounds of nature surround you. Relax in total serenity from the expansive wraparound and screened porches, all while taking in breathtaking mountain ridge and valley views. This charming custom built wood-sided Country Cape welcomes you with warm hardwood floors and vaulted ceilings. A dramatic wall of windows fills the great room with natural light and frames the stunning views, complemented by a stacked-stone gas fireplace. The open layout flows into a heated sunroom and a beautifully appointed kitchen featuring a large center island with seating, gas cooktop, granite countertops, built-in double ovens, prep sink and stainless steel refrigerator-perfect for entertaining. A cozy dining area sits just off the kitchen. Convenient one-level living includes a spacious primary suite with a walk-in closet and a full bath featuring a roll-in tiled shower and stacked washer/dryer. An adjoining bonus room-ideal as a TV room or office-opens through French doors to the screened porch, a perfect spot for a future hot tub. Upstairs, an open loft overlooks the great room and captures even more of the scenic views, along with two generously sized bedrooms and a full bath. The lower level is ready to become whatever you envision-media room, guest space, or recreation area-with convenient walkout access to the backyard. It also includes a full bath with jacuzzi tub, additional laundry area and utility room. Outdoors, the property invites exploration, with wooded acreage, open space for gardens or animals, and a mountain stream. A detached three-bay garage with electric adds versatility for hobbies or storage, while the outdoor wood furnace keeps the home cozy through the cold months. All this, just 15 minutes from I-81, offering both privacy and accessibility-a true escape without sacrificing convenience.
