Welcome home to Dempsey Creek, where every evening ends with a sunset over the golf course and the Portneuf Valley glowing below. Homes like this almost never come available here: a custom 6 bedroom, 3.5 bath retreat with 4,250 square feet on 6.5 acres, minutes from Lava Hot Springs, with no HOA and recreational zoning. Imagine mornings with coffee on the wrap around porch, afternoons cooking for everyone you love in a kitchen with two refrigerators, two dishwashers, and a commercial style range, and nights that end in the theater room with popcorn in hand or around the fire on the hill as the stars come out. A stained glass entry, arched doorways, a stone fireplace, a spa bath with freestanding tub, and a bunk room with its own arcade make every corner feel like a getaway. Golf is across the street, world famous hot springs are down the road, and deer visit at dusk. It is ready to become your full time home, your retreat, or your income property. Some houses you buy. This one you fall for.
