Distinctive Wellness Retreat
Cove Creek flows through the 17.21-acre setting of this modern mountain retreat, conceived by its owner as a place to restore and recharge. A 12-person spa and cold plunge pool anchor the wellness experience, while Poliform cabinetry and carefully chosen designer finishes lend the home a quiet sophistication. Four en-suite bedrooms offer each guest a private retreat, complemented by additional living space for gathering. With possible sites for future homes, the acreage also invites the vision of a family compound. Here, the sound of the creek and the pace of mountain living make room to truly unwind.
