About this home
Built by Altamont Construction, winner of the 2025 Parade of Homes Viewer’s Choice Showcase Home Award, this thoughtfully crafted residence in the Royal Pines neighborhood blends modern mountain architecture with natural materials and a distinctly luxurious yet functional feel. Cedar cladding and a standing-seam metal roof give the exterior a grounded, enduring presence that settles naturally into the wooded setting, while a babbling creek runs along the front of the property. Inside, cathedral ceilings open the large main living space, which flows seamlessly into the kitchen to create an inviting, light-filled gathering area ideal for entertaining—comfortable for everyday living and generous enough for guests. The primary bedroom sits conveniently on the same floor, keeping the main level both practical and welcoming. A long back porch, framed by an impressive stone retaining wall, extends the entertaining space outdoors with privacy and views. The location offers convenient access to shopping and everyday amenities while keeping trails, parks, and the surrounding mountains close at hand.
