The current owners have loved this house for many years and are only selling due to changes in their lives recently. The love and care they have put into the house is evident and there are a few items that they will take with them but the house will still be "turn key" when those items are removed. With guest quarters on the opposite side of the house from the master suite plus a loft with two twin beds, closet and bath, a beautiful long range mountain view, paved roads all the way to the home and a current Club membership, this house won't last long. Note that Club membership is optional but for just a one-time new member fee of $500 and proration of the membership dues, you get an 18 hole championship golf course, 10 clay tennis courts, 5 pickleball courts, fitness, clubhouse dining, 3 cafes, a ski house and so much more! NOTE: Seller had a radon test performed on 6/29/18, which came in below the EPA baseline!! Call now to see this sweet gem.
