    Tucked into the wooded hillside at the end of long ascending drive amidst 1.6 acres and surrounded on three sides by lush greenspace, this stunning 4-bedroom, 4.5 bath rustic retreat with attached 3 car garage offers the perfect combination of privacy, space, and warmth in a location convenient to all amenities of The Galena Territory. Generous covered porch greets you upon approach and provides a wonderful vantage point to take in the beautifully treed atmosphere. From the moment you enter to the soaring great room, with its massive floor-to-ceiling stone surround fireplace, stunning wood clad ceiling, and towering wall of windows, you'll feel at home in the natural beauty that surrounds you. The open layout continues into a spacious kitchen with granite counters, rich cabinetry, tile backsplash and sleek black appliances, flowing seamlessly into a large dining area ideal for entertaining. Adjacent to the main living space is a huge three-seasons room clad in wood with access to an expansive composite deck, where panoramic views of the treetops offer a peaceful, cabin-like feel year-round. The main level features a generously sized primary suite with vaulted wood clad ceilings, walk-in closet, its own rear deck access, and a private bath with dual vanity, jetted tub, and skylights for a bright and airy space, while two additional bedrooms with more vaulted wood clad ceilings each enjoy access to their own full bathrooms with dual vanities and tub/shower combos, making it easy to accommodate guests in comfort. Laundry room with deep basin sink and storage cabinetry is just off kitchen and leads to three car garage with plenty of room for vehicles, storage and toys. Downstairs, a fully finished walk-out lower level offers a vast family room anchored by a corner gas fireplace with brick surround, full-length windows, wet bar and access to a lower deck, plus sweeping rec room adjoining with room for pool/game table. A fourth bedroom suite with adjoining bath that includes a whirlpool tub and separate shower provides even more space for guests or extended stays. Outdoor living is just as impressive, with both upper and lower decks offering treehouse-style views and a wrap of tranquility in every direction, with hot tub on lower deck to enjoy throughout the seasons. Whether relaxing with your morning coffee surrounded by wildlife or entertaining under the stars, this home offers the perfect backdrop for all seasons. Set on 1.60 wooded acres within the amenity-filled Galena Territory, this home is an exceptional blend of rustic charm and functional luxury, ideal as a full-time residence or a private getaway, and is just a short trip to Owners' Club with indoor pool, outdoor pool, fitness facility, game room, multi-sport gym, tennis courts and more, access to scenic Lake Galena, and miles of gorgeous trails. Fine and casual dining, 63 holes of golf, and spa facilities of Eagle Ridge Resort and Spa await just minutes away.
