About This Home

As of September 2025

Superbly situated on a secluded, sunny homesite on Trout Lake's south shore, this insulated 3-bedroom, 2-bath cabin offers year-round access and end-of-the-road privacy. Just steps away are hiking trails, lake activities, and a 2.5-mile groomed Nordic track from Trout Lake to Lizard Head Pass just off the backyard.Expansive windows and a large wrap-around deck, complete with a hot tub, showcase the serene landscape and breathtaking mountain views--without another house in sight. Bordering open space and National Forest, the property offers endless opportunities for hiking, biking, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing.Summer brings fields of wildflowers, autumn echoes with the call of elk, and winter transforms the area into a pristine wonderland. With $250,000 in recent improvements
