Light moves through this home the way it moves through the hills around it: generously, and from every direction. Skylights pour sunshine into the open living space, while walls of French doors and windows frame an ever-changing backdrop of mountain ridgelines and valley views. The main floor unfolds as one bright, connected space, with living, dining, and gathering areas bathed in natural light. A stone fireplace anchors the room, and deck access draws the outdoors in. Step onto the wraparound deck, and the view becomes the main event: rolling hills, distant peaks, and golden-hour light that changes the home's mood throughout the day. The primary suite continues the theme, with its own private deck and uninterrupted mountain views. Downstairs, a versatile 1,000+ sq ft bonus space offers room to play as a rec room, gym, wine cellar, or media lounge, opening to a covered patio and lush, drought-tolerant landscaping. Additional highlights include a separate 3+ car garage and a Tesla Powerwall for energy resilience. A rare opportunity to live surrounded by light, sky, and view.
