HOME
Perched high on a hill with an alpine setting of tall pine and fir, this unique home offers privacy, peacefulness and natural breathtaking beauty.  With over 1800 square feet of living area, this two-level home was thoughtfully designed to integrate with the natural surroundings.  Minimizing the impact to the environment, the floor plan and outside decks were designed to integrate and merge with the nearby trees, rock formations and terrain features.  Pride of craftsmanship shows throughout.

Cathedral ceilings with expansive windows and skylights provide an abundance of natural light and million dollar views from the great room area.  With a spacious open floor plan, the great room features a dining area, country kitchen with large eating island with a granite top, natural stone fireplace and sliding glass doors to an outside deck. Awareness of the beautiful outdoor environment can be realized in almost every room.   A beautiful family room with a cathedral ceiling of natural wood; flooring of recycled 2 x 6 pine; and a wall of windows providing light and views, provides a comfortable and cozy place to enjoy.  This “sun” room would also be ideal for an artist studio or home office. Located on the upper level are two master suites, each with a private bath, designed with French Doors and well placed windows, taking full advantage of the natural light and views.  A small wooden deck off the western suite provides a peaceful natural garden setting to enjoy quiet evenings.
