Introducing The Payton Cottage—the largest floor plan to date—blending timeless architecture with warm, inviting finishes. Its shake-and-stone exterior complements the natural surroundings, while the main level features everything you need for one-level living, including the primary suite with an ensuite bath & walk-in closet, jack and jill bedrooms with their own bathroom, a large powder room, laundry room, storage closets, all in an open functional layout designed for everyday living. The living space is anchored by a cozy gas fireplace, creating a natural gathering point with space enough for a large dining table.

The home also includes a generous lower level, with a dedicated office retreat, and an oversized two-car garage for storage, hobbies, or gear. An additional ~650 square feet of flexible space offers room for a second living area, movie theatre, game room, exercise room, wet bar, or other uses to fit your needs. Situated on a desirable corner lot across from the creek, where modern craftsmanship meets the quiet beauty of the mountains.
