What's special

Small streamPlenty of usable acreageWooded acreage

Discover a slice of peaceful mountain living on 8.5 acres of unrestricted land, complete with wooded acreage and a small stream. This property offers privacy, room to spread out, and plenty of space to build, but it definitely needs someone ready to roll up their sleeves. The existing 1-bed, 1-bath cottage is modest and will require updates, repairs, and vision. It's the kind of place an eager buyer or investor can step into and create real value, whether you're dreaming of a personal retreat, a rental, or a long-term investment project. With no HOA restrictions and plenty of usable acreage, you've got the freedom to reimagine the property however you like. Fix it up, expand, add additional structures, or simply enjoy the land as you improve it. If you've been waiting for a project with real potential, something with land, water features, and room to grow, this one is worth a closer look.
