Tucked at 3,720 ft elevation, this 2-bed, 2-bath home on 2.42 acres offers privacy, views, and charm. Vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings extend from the living room to a back deck overlooking a bold creek, surrounded by mountain laurel and birdsong. The spacious living area features engineered hardwood floors, a wood-burning fireplace, and large double sliding glass doors for indoor-outdoor living. The updated kitchen includes a breakfast bar and easy access from the attached carport—perfect for groceries. The primary suite offers a gas log fireplace, ensuite bath, and private deck access. The second bedroom is on the main level, plus a bonus space suitable for a third sleeping area or office. A storage shed, spring-fed water, and no HOA make for low-maintenance living. Vacation rentals allowed. Enjoy pure mountain privacy, where peace and nature surround you.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
