Thoughtful details like wrap-around decks and a private hot tub maximize your connection to nature and the stunning south valley vistas. The home includes a private 1-bedroom guest wing with a full kitchen, bath, and separate entrance. A second fully-equipped studio apartment-an 840 sq ft space above the large detached shop-has served successfully as a vacation rental.
