Property Description

Set at the start of a quiet cul-de-sac in the Lakes Community, this hillside estate captures what very few homes can, a truly dominant, west-facing vantage point with sweeping 180-degree views and uninterrupted sunsets year-round. This is not just a view; it is the defining feature of the home and one of the most compelling in the entire community. This is a home that balances presence with livability, a property designed to be experienced every day, whether enjoying a quiet sunset or hosting at scale. Opportunities like this, with this combination of view, space, and usability, are rare. Inside, the home is equally well-positioned. The great room features soaring 25-foot ceilings and opens directly to multiple outdoor spaces, creating a natural flow between interior and exterior living. The primary suite includes its own private patio, offering a quiet place to take in the setting. A flexible bonus space, currently used as a home gym, can easily be adapted to fit a variety of needs. The grounds are designed for both scale and comfort, with a layout that supports everything from intimate evenings to large gatherings. A saltwater pool anchors the outdoor space, surrounded by multiple areas to relax, entertain, and take in the view. The outdoor kitchen is fully equipped with a high-end BBQ, EVO grill, gas burner, and dual refrigerators, allowing for effortless hosting. At the center of the yard, a custom-built pavilion stretches more than 40 feet, framed by exposed wood beams and designed as a true extension of the home.
