An ample living space with sweeping views of the valley and neighboring mountains opens to the well-equipped kitchen which includes a full set of cooking essentials, quality appliances, and ample room for entertaining guests. We provide a variety of games and are adding to our collection often! The road through our neighborhood is a great place to walk or bring pets, and we have a fenced dog area at the house that has a covered porch inside it. You can also walk from the house to the Christmount trail system, with miles of hiking trails, via our road or our private trail by the creek, which can be heard clearly from the house.
