Step out onto the extra-large patio and relish the outdoor living space. It's ideal for dining, enjoying your morning coffee, meditation, or witnessing the sunrise over the mountains. The dwelling is thoughtfully designed for privacy from the main home, with a separate secure entrance and a convenient driveway leading to the front door. This guest house comes fully equipped with Wi-Fi, Smart TV, split system heating, and air conditioning in each room. Utilities, including sewer, water, and electricity, are included.
