If you've been searching for a quiet retreat where you can truly live off the land and embrace the simple joys of country living—welcome home. Nestled on 3 flat, usable acres, this cozy gem offers the perfect blend of privacy and possibility. Wake up to mountain views and sip your morning coffee on the wide front porch, listening to nothing but the birds and the breeze. Inside, you'll find a warm and inviting space that feels like home the moment you walk in. But the best part. The story isn't finished yet. The unfinished basement has already been started—offering the chance to create 2 more bedrooms, a bathroom, and an additional living space. Imagine the potential! Outdoors, the fun really begins:
Chicken coop ready for your flock
Greenhouse to extend your growing season
Plenty of flat land for gardens, fruit trees, or even a little hobby farm. Detached workshop/garage wired and ready for all your projects and storage needs
Spend your days working the land and your evenings relaxing on the great front porch or the expansive back porch, soaking in the quiet, taking in the views, or gathering around a bonfire under the stars. This isn't just a home—it's a lifestyle waiting to unfold.
