This delightful custom designed home contours the building site, optimizing the southern exposure and sweeping river and mountain views. The location provides the convenience of city living, with the wilderness outside the back door with immediate access to Rails to Trails network for walking, biking and x-country skiing. The private, low maintenance yard and wrap-around patios maximize effortless outdoor living space. Post and beam accents inside and out and the many windows and glassed doors bring the outside in. The main floor open design makes for easy entertaining. Use of natural construction materials native to the area and the warmth of the centrally located wood stove create an alluring retreat for your family and guests.
