Your backyard is 10,000± acres of protected Nature Conservancy land, and no one will ever build behind you. Set on 7.42± private, elevated acres in the Healing Springs section of Hot Springs, this light-filled mountain chalet is minutes from The Omni Homestead, yet feels a world away from everything. Walk in, and the two-story A-frame wall of glass stops you in your tracks, framing treetops and ridgeline views beneath vaulted tongue-and-groove pine ceilings. Sliders open to an expansive deck made for morning coffee and starlit evenings, and an open loft overlooks it all. The updated kitchen delivers a large island, butcher-block counters, a farmhouse sink and 2023 stainless appliances, while the formal dining room opens through glass doors to the covered front porch.
