A spacious family room, fitness area, and additional bath create an environment designed for gathering, unwinding, and hosting without constraint. Direct access to the outdoor living areas ensures a seamless connection to the surrounding setting. Expansive stone terraces extend the living experience outdoors, offering multiple vantage points to take in the lake, the mountains, and the ever-changing light across the Plateau. From quiet mornings to sunset evenings, the setting is both composed and unforgettable. Located moments from the community clubhouse and enhanced by a new roof in 2025, the property reflects thoughtful stewardship and enduring value. This is not simply a home. It is a position within one of the Plateau's most established and sought-after communities, where view, design, and location converge with precision.
