Backing to forest with no immediate neighbors, the property offers an extraordinary sense of space, serenity, and connection to nature.

Sections of the roof were replaced in 2021, and the expansive back deck was re-stained in 2024 with a new staircase offering direct access to the backyard and forest. The adjoining lot at 502 Aspen Lane has been thoughtfully improved with over $100K in stonework and granite blasting, creating a custom stone terrace and a massive wood-burning firepit, a natural amphitheater perfect for stargazing, storytelling, and year-round outdoor enjoyment.
