Patios and decks provide plenty of space for entertaining, relaxing, grilling, or simply enjoying the fresh mountain air.

This isn't just a houseit's a place with personality, possibilities, and plenty of room to make it yours. If you've been dreaming of more land, more privacy, more fresh air, and a little more room to live life your way, come take a look.

This is a rare find! This beautiful, freshly painted home is located on almost 2 acres of rolling/level land. The large lot has about 1 acre fenced off so you can sit outside and enjoy the day as the pets run and play. The kitchen features an open concept, stainless appliances and hardwood floors. The vaulted ceilings, access to outdoor porch and beautiful closet system in primary are sure to please. After a hard day at work sit and unwind in your spa like bath then get cozy and relax in front of your fireplace. The home also comes complete with a work room in the basement plus a big bonus room (770 sq ft) that is heated but wasn't counted in the square footage because the ceilings are just under 7 ft. The home features multiple decks, a big yard, and 2 outdoor sheds. It is surrounded by trees for privacy but still has level and cleared areas to do whatever outdoor activities you like. This is a must see so book your appointment today!

Open Use District

The OU Open Use District is established as a district in which all uses are allowed by right, except for certain uses that are regulated as conditional uses so as to ensure that neighborhood impact is mitigated. Additionally, those uses which are specific to the Airport Industry District (AI) are excluded from the OU Open Use District. The neighborhood impact from conditional uses will be mitigated through the use of minimum specific site standards combined with general standards which provide the flexibility to impose a higher level of specific site standards dependent upon the degree of neighborhood impact. No zoning permit shall be required for permitted uses in the OU Open Use District.

Permitted uses

Include but are not limited to:

Gas station
General retail
Restaurant
Housing-Group
Housing-Single unit
Housing-Multiple units
Manufacturing
