Tucked away in the exclusive and historic Ripshin Lake community, this storybook mountain retreat feels almost too perfect to be real. One of the newer homes in the Ripshin Lake Corporation, this move-in ready cabin combines timeless mountain charm with the comfort and convenience buyers rarely find in the area.
A welcoming rocking chair front porch sets the tone, while the covered rear porch overlooks the peaceful, serene lake -- the perfect place for morning coffee or evenings listening to the water and wildlife. Inside, wide plank pine walls and warm natural finishes create an authentic mountain living experience. The open-concept main living area flows beautifully, complemented by a lofted bunk space, spacious primary suite, and large primary bathroom.
The walkout lower level offers exceptional additional living space with a recreation room, guest suite, and covered patio, making it ideal for entertaining family and friends. Ample pantry space and extra storage provide plenty of room for outdoor gear, lake toys, and all the essentials for mountain living.
A short, charming rhododendron-lined path leads down to your private dock and quaint dual-canoe boathouse -- a setting that truly captures the magic of Ripshin Lake.
As part of the historic Ripshin Lake Corporation, property owners become shareholders in the corporation and enjoy shared ownership in its unique community assets, adding to the rarity and appeal of this extraordinary lakefront escape. Buyer/Buyer's agent to verify all MLS info.
