Elegant, imposing, light filled custom home located in a premier gated neighborhood on 3.9 wooded acres with impressive views. A few hundred yards from national forest & mountain trails yet only a 5 minute drive to downtown. Built around the art and whimsical vision of the current owners, this magical home was designed for both practical living and entertaining. Architecturally interesting with its gently curved, white plastered double frame walls, its custom doors and cabinets and many artistic flourishes, this well maintained and updated (2021) home is a "work of art as much as a house" (feedback). The great room has high ceilings of vigas and beams, flagstone floors, panoramic west views and a sculptural 2 way fireplace. Adjacent is the well-designed kitchen open to a large den with kiva fireplace and access to the east facing walled back garden with its backdrop of mountain cliffs. Ascend the sweeping staircase with its molded plaster balustrades and arrive at an open plan library/study with white oak floors (easily converted to a 4th bedroom). Next door is the master suite and a luxurious new bathroom. The magnificent 2500 sq ft indoor pool (potential casita?) is flooded with natural light, 16ft ceilings, extensive murals, a spa, kitchen and ample flagstone patio space for relaxation and partying. Adjacent 2 ac lot is available for $750,000
