No expenses were spared when this one owner home was custom built in 2007. The attention to detail and custom design aspects mirror the superb location. This beautifully built Leatherwood home boasts 2,711 square feet of living space and showcases an authentic rustic design. It is embellished with striking Canadian Douglas Fir throughout the interior and exterior. The owners chose this wood to highlight the strength and beauty of this extraordinarily designed residence. It is also set up so that every room can observe the breathtaking panoramic views of the countryside.

These are set against gorgeous custom bead board Knotty Alder cabinets with self-closing doors.

The kitchen opens out into a sunken great room with vaulted ceilings. Beautiful log craftsmanship garnishes the room and spotlights the detailed refurbished vintage gas stove. The room also showcases deep hunter green carpet which provides a nice balance against the Douglas fir walls.

A unique wall separating the serenity room from the master suite has embedded rustic wrought iron artwork, nicely complimenting the theme of the home. The elegant master suite also features a master bathroom with decorative tile, a soaker tub, and dual vanity sinks.

Other notable custom features include heated floors throughout a majority of the home and a delightful walk-in electric sauna lined with sturdy and beautiful Canadian Douglas fir.
