This impeccably maintained custom home in gated Whitewater Ridge community presides over beautiful gardens and offers a stunning long range Whiteside Mountain view. The 11 acre estate is surrounded by thousands of acres of National Forest, offering three hiking trails and access to waterfalls and the wild and scenic Whitewater River. Its setting among the native rhododendron and mountain laurel offers both privacy and quiet found in its natural surroundings.

The main living areas are oriented to maximize the spectacular views, and the covered porch and decks feature unobtrusive post and cable railings.
