Welcome to this newly furnished, designer decorated, light-filled mountain retreat with long range views in the much sought after gated community of Eagles Nest. This home is situated in the new Villages section where the community handles the mowing and trimming and maintains the water wells. Here there are larger lots, fewer neighbors, high elevation--nearly 4,000 feet above sea level, with paved, well-maintained roads that mean easy access year-round, even in winter, and just three minutes to the highway! This lightly lived in (only 3 months!) never-rented, 3-bedroom, 4-bathroom (2 full, 2 half) home has significant upgrades made by the current owners: designer lighting throughout; whole-house water purification system; fabric window shades – some electronic; asphalt driveway; front and back yard landscaping and hardscaping; a fenced-in front porch and a side yard enclosure which provides a private outdoor retreat for you and your four-legged friend(s) to enjoy, and much more. The home features an open-concept floor plan with a 2-story wall of windows anchored by a floor-to-ceiling stone gas fireplace, neutral color palette, a loft/home office with beautiful mountain views as well, granite countertops, fully outfitted wood closet systems, as well as an attached garage for your ATV or additional storage. The owners completed and furnished this home as a long-term summer retreat for themselves, but plans changed with the impending birth of their first grandchild on the West Coast. Eagles Nest residents enjoy access to Sportsman's Grille; the renowned restaurant, Epic Chophouse; a winery; tennis, pickleball, and basketball courts; ATV and hiking trails; a climbing tower; ball fields; fishing ponds with trout fishing; a fitness center; a dog park; and an extraordinary Amphitheater with free weekly summer concerts May through October. Come see this home before it’s gone and start enjoying Eagles Nest and all that the surrounding area has to offer--all you have to do is unpack your bags and settle right in.
