    What's special

    Walk-out basementPrivate roadLong-range viewsThree generous bedroomsWildlife moves freelyLodge-like feelOne-car garage
    Please no drive-bys. At the end of a private road, where the woods open to long-range views, this custom-built cabin rests on 7.23 unrestricted acres with 180-degree, year-round mountain scenery. Built in 2000 with live-edge siding, the home rises with tall ceilings on both levels, giving it a lodge-like feel filled with shifting light from sunrise through sunset, thanks to its southern exposure. The main level offers three generous bedrooms and two baths, including a primary ensuite with a newer walk-in shower. Downstairs, the walk-out basement takes on a life of its own with a full kitchen, fourth sleeping quarters, and space suited for extended stays, with a wood stove adding warmth and character. A workshop and one-car garage add function to the setting. The land is open and full of possibilities, with multiple build sites for a family compound, homestead, or simply room to roam. Wildlife moves freely here, and the quiet runs deep. An assumable 2.99% mortgage makes this mountain home even more compelling.
