Nestled beneath Panorama Point & minutes from Golden Gate Canyon State Park & Reverends Ridge, this private mountain retreat offers the perfect balance of recreation, tranquility, & convenience. Set back from the road on a private lot bordering parkland, the home enjoys spectacular views of Mount Thorodin & frequent visits from moose, elk, deer, foxes, bobcats, coyotes, black bears, & numerous bird species.

A Pro Panel II metal roof installed in 2014 carries approximately 34 years remaining on its manufacturer warranty. The 13.53 kW grid-tied solar system helps offset utility costs & is pre-wired for future battery backup.
