Large windows frame mountain vistas and bring natural light throughout the home. The home can sleep 8-10. Outdoor living is equally exceptional: a covered porch and separate deck host a grill, fire pit, and spa, creating year round spaces for gathering and relaxation. The slate roof reduces fire risk and discreetly houses a 360 degree observation blind in the loft. Security features include a full alarm system and multi camera CCTV network.
