Discover luxury living beyond the greens in this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath villa located on prestigious Hole #1 of Achasta's Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course. With 3,311 sq. ft. of thoughtfully designed space across three levels - plus additional unfinished square footage in the basement and upper level for future expansion - this home blends comfort, style, and flexibility. Inside, you'll find 10-ft ceilings, and elegant 8-ft doors, custom Pella windows with built-in blinds, beamed accents, and built-in bookcases in the loft and media room. The back of the home is lined with endless windows, gleaming hardwood floors, filling the space with natural light and framing beautiful golf course and mountain views from nearly every room. The main-level primary suite offers a spa-like bath with jetted tub and separate shower, coffered ceiling, and large walk-in closet. The chef's kitchen features a five-burner gas cooktop, stone counters, walk-in pantry, and breakfast bar opening to the fireside family room and sunroom.

Step outside to your covered patio with cypress wood ceiling, speakers, Big Green Egg, and hot tub, all overlooking professional landscaping with irrigation, raised garden beds, and private stairs leading directly to the golf course. Recent upgrades include a new HVAC (2022), roof (2019), water heater (2021), expanded laundry room, fresh exterior paint (2021), and soft wash in 2025 - meaning this home is move-in ready and worry-free. Additional highlights include an extra-wide parking space designed to accommodate a golf cart, with the golf cart itself included in the sale. A custom wine rack will also remain with the home, offering both functionality and charm. But life in Achasta is about more than a home - it's about a lifestyle.
