What the owner loves about this home
What makes this property truly special is not just the cabin — it is the freedom the land gives you and the Mountain View’s along with the building sites on the property and its completely unrestricted.
181,645 square feet of completely unrestricted mountain land surrounded by a gated community. You can build what you want without asking anyone permission. No HOA. No restrictions.
The unobstructed mountain views are breathtaking — not just a peek from one window but sweeping views across the entire property.
We love sitting on the front porch with morning coffee watching the mountains. We love the privacy. We love knowing that if family wants to build nearby there is room for everyone.
The Generac generator gives us peace of mind during mountain storms. The fiber optic internet means we can work from anywhere. The wood stove keeps the cabin warm and cozy all winter.
This property has everything you need to escape the world and build the life you actually want. Whether that is a private retreat, a family compound, or an investment property — the land makes it all possible.
We hate to leave it. But we know the right family will love it just as much as we did.
