About this property
Shimmering Peaks Retreat
Wide mountain views and room for 14
Perched on a private 4.6-acre wooded hillside, this striking modern mountain home offers sweeping views of the White Mountains through a dramatic wall of glass. Nestled among the trees yet open to big skies and colorful sunsets, the custom 5-bedroom, 3-bath residence (approx. 3,400 sq ft) features a walkout lower level and comfortably sleeps 14—perfect for ski weeks, fall foliage getaways, and multi-generational family reunions.
Inside, an open great room features a wall of glass framing the mountains, a wood stove, and seamless flow to the covered deck with a gas fire pit. There’s a bunk room, game room, and dedicated play area for young kids, plus linens, high-speed Wi-Fi, and Smart TVs throughout.
Note: A long, steep driveway means all-wheel drive or 4x4 is strongly recommended in winter.
