Welcome to your secluded mountain sanctuary on 40 private acres bordering Roosevelt National Forest with end-of-road privacy and direct access to thousands of acres of public land teeming with wildlife in GMU 20. Despite last year's Alexander Mountain Fire, this home stood strong. Only a storage shed was lost, now replaced with a brand-new structure. The surrounding area is regreening beautifully with wildflowers, native grasses, and a Cedar Creek flowing through the property, crossed by a newly rebuilt bridge. The spacious two-story home features 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, offering comfort, privacy, and room to entertain. The entry multipurpose room includes radiant floors, added cabinetry, and a second oven-ideal for hosting or prep work. The main kitchen boasts ample storage and generous counter space, perfect for the home chef. Hickory floors enhance the main level, with a cozy wood stove in the living room and a propane stove in the finished basement rec room. Energy-efficient features include solar panels and a tankless hot water heater, helping reduce utility costs. The exterior is built for mountain living with fire-resistant siding, and composite Trex decking. In addition, the property has been carefully mitigated for fire safety with strategic tree clearing. There's a spectacular 522 sq ft organic greenhouse complete with electricity, self-heating for winter use, and Bee's Wax automatic window openers. An oversized 2-car garage and the new 16x10 shed provide plenty of storage. Whether you're soaking in the hot tub, exploring the forest, or listening to the creek from your deck, this property offers a peaceful connection to nature with unmatched privacy and recreational opportunity.
