Upstairs, 3 more bedrooms await, including a primary suite boasting a spa-like 5-piece en-suite bathroom and a large walk-in closet. Step outside onto the generous wraparound deck to take in crisp mountain air and sweeping vistas, whether savoring morning coffee, dining alfresco, or soaking in the hot tub. Tucked behind the main home, a private and well-insulated cabin with canyon views, electricity, a kitchenette, and parking serves as an idyllic guest retreat or creative studio. The stargazing here is out of this world! An astronomer's paradise, with incredible views from every window, including the Milky Way! A Bortle scale rating of 3.6 means you can enjoy dark, unobstructed skies almost anywhere on the property! An on-site observatory offers even more for astronomy enthusiasts.
