Perched to capture an ever-changing canvas of light and landscape, this extraordinary mountain residence offers stunning, panoramic views from virtually every room with end-of-the-road privacy. Dozens of south-facing windows bathe the interiors in natural light, creating a seamless dialogue between refined living spaces and grandeur of the surrounding peaks. Designed for intimate moments and effortless entertaining, the home unfolds with a graceful flow. The main level features a beautifully appointed kitchen and an inviting living room, each thoughtfully positioned to embrace the sweeping pastoral vistas beyond. A private office provides a quiet retreat for work or reflection. Outdoor living is elevated to an art form. Expansive deck spaces extend the home into the landscape, while a large screened porch offers a serene setting to enjoy mountain breezes year-round, blurring the line between indoors and out. The primary suite is a sanctuary of comfort and sophistication, complete with a generous sitting area, dual walk-in closets and rare luxury of two full baths, offering privacy and indulgence. The lower level is equally impressive, offering remarkable flexibility with three additional bedrooms or office spaces, two full baths and a spacious open recreation room, ideal for gatherings, media or leisure. Every detail has been considered for ease and abundance, including ample whole-house storage, additional attic storage above the garage, and a three-car garage to accommodate practical needs and lifestyle pursuits. A residence of rare harmony, where space, light and landscape converge in a setting that is as inspiring as it is inviting.

This contemporary architect-designed home on 7 acres has been nicknamed Hawks Ridge because of its high elevation. The view is commanded from virtually every room through the dozens of south-facing windows. A beautiful deck space brings the outdoors in along with the large screen porch (275 SF) which might become your favorite ‘room’ in the house. The master suite is a delight with large closet spaces, sitting area, separate home office/nursery and 2 en-suite baths. The remaining upper floor rooms; the open kitchen, dining and living rooms provide ample space and flow together to make living and entertaining a pleasure. The lower level provides two/ three bedrooms (or office space), two full baths, and a large open space that was recently used for an artist studio or would make a great recreation room (1000 SF).Plenty of whole house storage with 15 closets as well as garage attic storage. There is a 3 car garage (1080 SF) along with paved outdoor areas to park 9 vehicles.

OU
Open Use District
The OU Open Use District is established as a district in which all uses are allowed by right, except for certain uses that are regulated as conditional uses so as to ensure that neighborhood impact is mitigated. Additionally, those uses which are specific to the Airport Industry District (AI) are excluded from the OU Open Use District. The neighborhood impact from conditional uses will be mitigated through the use of minimum specific site standards combined with general standards which provide the flexibility to impose a higher level of specific site standards dependent upon the degree of neighborhood impact. No zoning permit shall be required for permitted uses in the OU Open Use District.
