About This Home

As of August 2025

RUSTIC CHARM WITH ENDLESS POTENTIALStep back in time with this enchanting 1935 cabin-style home, nestled on a rare 1.1-acre property spanning two legal parcels--a unique offering in the area. Brimming with character, the 2-bedroom, 1-bath retreat features warm wood-paneled walls, a cozy fireplace in the living room, and a bright, quaint kitchen that remains mostly original. A spacious front porch invites you to relax and take in the sweeping mountain views, with wide open skies and plenty of sunshine.The expansive, all-usable lot offers endless possibilities--build your dream main house, create lush gardens, or establish a small hobby farm with room for animals. There's also a detached garage with a workshop, perfect for projects or additional storage.This is a rare and unique opportunity, as the property hasn't been on the market in 45 years. Now consisting of two legal parcels, it offers added flexibility and potential for future development or multi-generational living. Whether you're drawn to its vintage charm or inspired by its possibilities, bring your imagination and make this special place your own.
