Outdoor Living & Wellness Spaces

The covered terrace stretches across the back of the home and serves as one of the property’s central gathering spaces. Complete with a live-edge wood dining table, designer lighting, ceiling fans, and peaceful mountain views, it creates the ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining.

Several additional seating areas are positioned throughout the property — beneath the terrace, along the jungle edge, and beside the stone walkways — allowing you to enjoy different perspectives of the landscape throughout the day.
