From its elevated setting on a private cul-de-sac within the prestigious, gated enclave of The Cliffs at Glassy, this exceptional homesite offers a rare foundation for a mountain estate with sweeping, long-range mountain views.

Beyond that, the storied Cliffs lifestyle brings a thoughtfully curated range of amenities, including golf, hiking, and fine dining. For those seeking additional scale, the adjoining parcel is also available—an opportunity to unite both lots into a private compound of over 3 acres. It’s a setting designed for unhurried mornings, big-sky horizons, and evenings that feel far removed from the everyday.
