Morning begins with sunlight pouring through heavy timber posts onto warm hardwood floors. In the great room, a massive stone hearth waits for evening fires, while glass doors draw you out onto 1,700 square feet of wrap-around decking. Here, long-range ridge lines stretch out before you, absolute quiet replacing city noise. Spread across three levels, 3,000 square feet of crafted living space offers room to host family and friends in the open living areas or slip away to private nooks. Set on 13.46 acres near Black Mountain’s local shops and eateries, you remain close to community while living in total privacy. When night falls, dark skies reveal brilliant starlight undisturbed by city light pollution. Step out onto the deck, listen to the breeze through the trees, and see if this ridge feels like home. Schedule your private walk through the property today.

OU
Open Use District
The OU Open Use District is established as a district in which all uses are allowed by right, except for certain uses that are regulated as conditional uses so as to ensure that neighborhood impact is mitigated. Additionally, those uses which are specific to the Airport Industry District (AI) are excluded from the OU Open Use District. The neighborhood impact from conditional uses will be mitigated through the use of minimum specific site standards combined with general standards which provide the flexibility to impose a higher level of specific site standards dependent upon the degree of neighborhood impact. No zoning permit shall be required for permitted uses in the OU Open Use District.
Permitted uses
