Escape to your own private mountain oasis with this charming and secluded 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom wood-sided cabin on almost 2 acres of land. Through a canopy of hardwoods and pines, a gravel driveway leads you to this hidden gem with beautiful mountain views and peaceful privacy. The home features a durable metal roof and a matching 12' x 16' outbuilding with power. Outdoor living is abundant with a fire pit area for evenings under the stars, and expansive wraparound porches and decks on both levels. The lower-level porch has a hot tub where you can unwind while gazing out at the distant mountains. Step up to the deck and inside to a warm, rustic interior with all the character of a true mountain home. The vaulted ceiling and walls of blue and buggy wood with tin accents create a welcoming atmosphere. Brand new wood floors run throughout the main level, complementing the open layout. The open kitchen offers generous granite countertops, ample cabinetry, and an adjoining breakfast area. In the Great Room, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace with a live-edge mantel invites you to relax by the fire. Sliding glass doors provide seamless access to the deck and flood the space with natural light. The main level also includes a comfortable bedroom and a full bathroom with double vanities and a convenient laundry area. From the Great Room, a spiral staircase leads to the lower level, where the same finishes continue the cabin's unique charm. You'll find a spacious second bedroom with two walk-in closets—one with direct access to the porch—as well as an ensuite bathroom and another set of glass doors opening to the covered lower porch and hot tub area. With Fiber Optic internet as well, this beautifully maintained cabin offers connectivity, comfort, and total seclusion—just minutes from adventure.
