The Bodhi: Spacious 5-bedroom retreat in Highlands with wooded mountain views.

New rental home with experienced host! Nestled just five miles from the vibrant heart of downtown Highlands lies a breathtaking estate that embodies the very definition of tranquil luxury. This magnificent home, expansive in both size and warm ambiance, is more than just a dwelling; it is a sanctuary designed for both connection and reflection. With each corner meticulously crafted to provide every imaginable comfort, this property offers an unparalleled living experience where nature and elegance meet.

Upon arrival, guests are greeted by meticulously manicured landscaping that seamlessly blends with the stunning natural vistas. The first impression is further enhanced by the inviting covered front deck, elegantly furnished with ample comfortable seating and equipped with ceiling fans – a perfect haven for warm summer afternoons spent indulging in gentle breezes.

The grandeur of the home continues with the expansive layout that invites relaxation. Multiple seating areas throughout the property promote connection. The main floor boasts a wood-burning fireplace, anchoring the space as a gathering point where families and friends can come together, creating cherished memories. Adjacent to this inviting space is the sunroom—an idyllic dining area where meals are savored amidst panoramic views, making every dining experience feel like a celebration of nature's beauty.

One of the crowning jewels of this estate is the incredible downstairs theatre room, a perfect setting for movie nights. With plush seating and state-of-the-art audiovisual technology, this intimate space transforms film-watching into an immersive experience.
For those moments when solitude is desired, the estate offers numerous quiet spots where one can retreat for reading or reflection. Imagine sipping a warm cup of tea beside the koi pond, a serene retreat complete with miniature waterfalls.

As the sun sets, the outdoors beckons with its inviting features—a sprawling covered patio downstairs offers an excellent space for lounging while taking in the stunning vistas. The outdoor experience is further enhanced by a wood-burning fire pit, perfect for stargazing or toasting marshmallows as the evening cools. The addition of a Big Green Egg allows culinary enthusiasts to explore outdoor cooking.

This exquisite estate, harmonizing comfort and beauty, is not just a residence; it is a canvas for life's most precious moments, resonating with the laughter of friends, the warmth of family, and the whispers of nature. Embrace the serene luxury awaiting you just beyond the edge of town, where every sunrise brings a new opportunity to appreciate the magic of life.
