Set on a paved, town-maintained road just minutes to I-93, this elevated property offers true seclusion without sacrificing convenience. No HOA. Just usable land, open sunny skies, and sweeping mountain views. The home spans three finished levels, including a bright walkout lower level with 9’ ceilings, a finished bedroom, second living/bar area, washer/dryer and utility room, and direct exterior access to the patio and hot tub through a 9’ slider—finished to the same standard as the main floor and fully heated and cooled for year-round living. The main level is designed for both daily living and entertaining, featuring an open kitchen, dining area, and living space positioned to capture natural light and mountain views, along with a full bath and direct access to the elevated rear deck—perfect for morning coffee or sunset evenings overlooking the landscape. Upstairs, the master suite and secondary bedroom enjoy some of the best vantage points in the home, creating a quiet retreat level that feels private while remaining connected to the surrounding scenery. The layout is flexible, functional, and intentionally designed for real life—whether hosting, working from home, or simply enjoying space and privacy. Built with foresight, the property includes an oversized well and 6-bedroom septic infrastructure providing capacity for future expansion or a potential second structure. That kind of forward-thinking investment is increasingly rare. The detached 4–6 car garage is a standout feature—ideal for car enthusiasts, contractors, hobbyists, or business owners needing serious storage and workspace. Efficient mini-splits paired with dual propane backup heat provide comfort and redundancy. Offered furnished, the home presents a true turnkey opportunity—move in and enjoy from day one. Showings begin 3/9/26. Broker interest.
