WHAT SETS IT APART: “Most of the homes in the area are perched on top of a hill, but this one is on a knoll in the foothills and is built into the mountains. Also, there are no neighbors and no noise, but you’re still within walking distance of town,” says agent Steve Gregory.
MARKET INQUIRIES: $18.5 million; $22.5 million, furnished
