Imagine waking up surrounded by towering trees, where morning light filters through the branches and your commute to Highway 17 takes only five minutes. This refreshed mountain home offers the rare blend of privacy & convenience; sunlit living spaces through south-facing windows below, & quiet, restful bedrooms tucked away above. With southern exposure, every level of the garden thrives, not just for beauty but for purpose, a true paradise for those who love to see things grow. Here, adventure begins at your doorstep. River swimming holes, disc golf courses, & hiking trails don't require weekend road trips, they're simply part of your everyday landscape.

Families find comfort knowing Happy Valley Elementary offers the charm of a small public school with the reputation of a private education. Inside, modern upgrades make life easy: a new furnace, gas fireplace, improved water systems, & thoughtful landscaping. This is mountain living without compromise, tranquility woven seamlessly with valley access. A place where your search for balance finally ends.
