About this home
Refined mountain living meets turnkey investment opportunity at 277 Long Ridge Rd. Thoughtfully upgraded and impeccably maintained, this property offers upscale rustic style with meaningful capital improvements that enhance both comfort and long-term value. The primary suite has been fully enclosed to create a true private retreat. A handcrafted log bed replaces the former Murphy bed that was in the lower level guest room, elevating the home’s mountain aesthetic with warmth and authenticity. Every television has been upgraded and professionally wall-mounted for a sleek, modern presentation. The kitchen includes a new microwave, and a brand-new AC unit ensures reliable year-round climate control — a must for both owners and guests. A radon mitigation system has also been installed, adding another layer of quality and peace of mind. Outdoor enhancements significantly increase both curb appeal and guest safety. All exterior railings have been replaced, the deck has been leveled and secured, columns have been straightened and reinforced, and new driveway railing has been installed. The backyard has been cleared and refreshed, and new side stairs improve access and functionality. For investors, this property checks every box: upgraded systems, modernized interiors, improved safety features, and polished presentation — all critical factors for strong short-term rental performance and five-star reviews. For buyers seeking an elevated mountain retreat, it offers privacy, comfort, and that coveted refined lifestyle.
