Rustic mountain cabin on an amazing 1.59 acre, beautifully manicured, forested lot located at the top of the mountain in the very desirable Ridge Top subdivision. Properties in this gated community range from 1 to 3 acres in size and are surrounded by large green spaces that have been maintained to look like a park! Enjoy privacy and plenty of room to spread out and take in the crisp mountain air and gorgeous scenery. The sundeck is exceptional... it is very large, multileveled, and wraps around massive granite boulders making it a showplace and an entertainment space that is unequaled. It is stunning. There is a very nice, fenced yard attached to the deck making this property pet friendly and kid friendly too! Step inside to find a classic Shaver Lake cabin with plenty of knotty pine interior finishes, a gorgeous unique stone fireplace hearth, updated kitchen and baths including granite counter tops and fixtures. There are 2 bedrooms and one full bath downstairs. Upstairs are 2 additional bedrooms, a full bath and a large room which can be a game room or 5th bedroom. It is a super fun space and suited nicely for a big group. The attached garage is currently being used as a lounge area heated by a wood stove. There are many places for people to gather and recreate. The property is a successful vacation rental which has been managed responsibly. At approximately 5500 ft elevation, enjoy cooler summers and plenty of winter snow. This property has easy winter access with a nice level driveway and ample areas to park. Just minutes to Shaver Lake and China Peak. This one is special; the setting is one of a kind. Come up and see!
