About this home

One of a kind setting! Mountain Views - Bubbling Creek - Valley View - Privacy - Level yard & just minutes from town off a paved road. This home is on a 2 Bedroom septic system but is functionally being used as a 3 with the bonus room PLUS a 1/1 detached studio guest cottage with its own entrance & deck overlooking the creek. Including the guest cottage you have a total of 4 full bathrooms. Inside the main house you have a lovely living room with vaulted ceilings and custom wood work - plus a beautiful natural rock fireplace that also hosts a rock accent wall in the dining room as well. Off the living room you'll find the large covered deck overlooking the bubbling creek and views of yard and mountains. If that's not close enough to the creek, walk down the all season stairs to the walk-bridge and enjoy the creekside deck & firepit area. Close by you have 3 storage buildings perfect for workshop and yard equipment storage. Additional driveway off of the State paved road for parking your RV or camper. Two HVAC systems inside the main house for ultimate convenience. All appliances stay and the county kitchen has a large pantry to the side as well. One of the best settings I've seen!
