A “10” on the Wow factor scale! Open the front door and enter an expansive mountain vista with a contemporary twist. Photos pale next to the exceptional lifestyle experience provided by this carefully crafted and decorated organic modern home. Multiple window walls and functional porches create an oneness with the natural beauty of the outdoors. The open floor plan is complimented by clean architectural lines, modern appliances, and surprising touches throughout.
