There are outside porches, decks, and patios for ultimate outdoor relaxation & private forest views, and the large hot tub.
Kids & adults love getting out in and around the expansive private enclave & explore the other outdoor areas. While everyone enjoys the homes and on-site & nearby amenities, you can pull up a chair and take in the relaxing privacy afforded by the mountainside forest view, observe the night as it fills with stars, and watch the fire flies come out to play in your backyard. Or, toast some s'mores and share stories, well into the star-filled nights at the expansive outdoor fire-pit.

The private estate property offers lots of acreage for nature walks and exploring, and other exercise on the mountain without leaving the community property.
