About This Home

Mountain views, fresh air, and space to make it your own!
Perched on a mountaintop in a private community with very few neighbors, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers the kind of peace and scenery that is hard to find. Surrounded by trees and natural beauty, the setting invites hiking, wildlife watching, and quiet mornings with coffee on the deck.
Inside, the home features soaring ceilings, warm wood accents, and large windows that bring the outdoors in. The open living area flows easily into the kitchen and dining space, creating a comfortable layout for everyday living or weekend gatherings. A lofted upper level adds extra character and flexible space.
There’s a large deck overlooking the woods, an ideal spot for grilling or simply soaking in the mountain air. There is plenty of room for family and visitors alike.
The property has also been operated as an Airbnb, which has excellent potential as a short-term rental, weekend getaway, or income-producing investment.
The property does need some updates, making it a great opportunity for buyers who want to add their own style and build equity in a truly special location. If you’ve been looking for a getaway, full-time home, or investment surrounded by the great outdoors, this mountain retreat is ready for its next chapter.
