This Class 1 Historic District community comprises 37 cottages enveloped in a lush, tropical paradise reminiscent of a luxurious South Asian spa retreat. Designed by Phil Shipley + Dudley Trudgett, the landscape is an immersive sanctuary of towering palm trees, tranquil ponds, meandering pathways, and a babbling brook that whispers serenity. Breathtaking mountain views provide a majestic backdrop, completing this utopian oasis. Welcome to the most exceptional cottage in RCCW. The design seamlessly blends indoor + outdoor living w/floor-to-ceiling glass walls, post-and-beam construction, and private patios that offer complete serenity.
