Next, a spacious 2-story, 4-bedroom home in Williamsburg, VA, perfectly positioned to capture the 6M+ visitors who flock to this historic destination each year. And finally, a 4BR/4BA mountain retreat in Colorado, where guests can soak in breathtaking views straight from the hot tub—because nothing pairs better with high altitude than high demand.
