Custom Craftsmanship by Tom Eggers Construction
“Almost Heaven” was meticulously built by Tom Eggers Construction, a name synonymous with quality in this area. Every element of the home, from its structural integrity to its finishing details, reflects the kind of craftsmanship that only comes from a builder who specializes in luxury mountain residences.
The result is a home that feels both grand and intimate — a place that lives well whether you’re hosting a large family gathering or enjoying a quiet morning by the fire.
Five Bedrooms, Five En Suite Baths
The home offers five generously sized bedrooms, each with its own en suite bathroom — a layout that prioritizes privacy and comfort for residents and guests alike.

Expansive windows frame the surrounding landscape, flooding the living spaces with natural light and maintaining a constant visual connection to the outdoors.
A Heart-of-the-Home Living Space
