Accessible from the sitting room is the elevated deck which runs along the
home's entire southern façade and offers privacy and all-season golf course,
mountain and woodland views.
Descend to the terrace level, and one is greeted by a secondary sitting room,
accented with a wet bar and French door access to a tiled patio. Flanking
this room are two large, bright, en suite bedrooms that offer guests a
relaxing, private retreat with woodland views. Nearby is a massive, finished
