Just 10 minutes from Waterville Valley and Owls Nest Golf resort, this exceptional mountain retreat sits on 3.4 acres and captures sweeping, unobstructed views of Welch and Dickey Mountains and the Sandwich Range. Set within the Woodwinds community, the home's placement was carefully chosen to maximize sightlines, offering dramatic vistas that evolve beautifully throughout the seasons. Morning coffee on the deck and evenings on the patio the landscape becomes part of everyday living. The primary residence features two bedrooms, a spacious loft overlooking an open-concept main level, and a finished lower level with warm, inviting family room. A newly built detached two car garage adds valuable flexibility with its in law apartment/office/rental suite, complete with its own deck oriented toward the panoramic mountain views. Designed for comfort year round, this home is equipped with advanced systems including grid tied solar electric with battery back-up, a fireplace with pellet stove, on demand baseboard heat, and radiant floors in the basement. An abutting 2.4 acre lot- offered as part of the sale-provides additional privacy, future potential, and its own view opportunities. With protected vistas, modern systems, versatile living spaces, a premium second lot, and access to community common land, this property stands out as a rare offering in the heart of the White Mountains.
