About this home

Step into the charm of an authentic Swiss chalet, where custom craftsmanship and breathtaking mountain views create a setting unlike anything else. Nestled on nearly 5 private, wooded acres, this one-of-a-kind retreat was thoughtfully designed with remarkable details throughout—including a vintage tile roof sourced from the historic Grove Park Inn, substantial Eastern Pine timber framing, custom Swiss-inspired shutters and expansive balconies featuring handcrafted pine tree motif cutouts. Inside, the vaulted main level is designed to embrace the view. Three sets of French doors open to the full-length balcony, seamlessly connecting the warm chalet interior with the surrounding mountains and creating an incredible setting for morning coffee, sunset gatherings or simply taking in the scenery. Rich in character, craftsmanship and a true sense of place, this special property offers the privacy of a mountain retreat while providing flexibility as a primary residence, vacation getaway or short-term rental investment. This is more than a home—it’s a mountain experience that truly needs to be seen in person.
