Stunning and spacious three-level A-frame sited at the very foot of Hunter's ski slopes, with a smart and stylish interior design and furnishings -- a truly outstanding short-term-rental property with a current cap rate of 10 per cent. Or else an amazing single-family ski house with plenty of bedrooms, bathrooms and privacy within the house. There's a wonderful open feeling to the cathedral-height great room -- a feeling of having the perfect place to unwind with plenty of room to stretch out. Whether investment or personal ownership, there is a lower-level that's like a vacation area in itself, with a terrific pool table, ping-pong table, relaxing media room and games area. Outside is a generous deck looking up to Hunter Mountain, as well as a picnic table and a firepit to enjoy the starry nights. No longer simply a ski center, Hunter has become a four-season escape to the mountains. Since its purchase just a little over three years ago, this property has been a phenomenally successful AirBnB venture and promises to increase its success further in the future (there are currently $40,000+ worth of AirBnB rentals to convey). Two additional split AC units were installed in February, bringing the total to 8. The chimney underwent a complete overhaul in 2020 and a new 6k sliding door off the kitchen will be installed. Being here will be close to something for everyone: zip-lining, hiking, golf, fishing, concerts, biking and of course skiing & boarding. And if you want this all to yourself, there is no better place to entertain your friends or family. If not, it practically rents itself in an area where short-term rentals still thrive. [Showings are very often not possible on weekends since -- you guessed it -- the property is likely booked. ]
