Wake up to breathtaking long-range mountain views, enjoy your morning coffee on the deck, and unwind in the hot tub under a sky full of stars. Nestled in the peaceful mountains of Almond, this stunning log-sided retreat blends rustic charm with modern comfort. Expansive windows fill the home with natural light while showcasing spectacular mountain scenery from nearly every room. Recent improvements include two new HVAC units, a new gas stove and refrigerator, under-counter microwave installation, new decking, driveway improvements, garage door maintenance, professional wood-boring bee treatment, and an active termite bond. Tree removal has enhanced the long-range mountain views, while newly planted trees around the deck create a beautiful outdoor setting. Unlike many mountain cabins designed primarily for weekend getaways, this home offers the space and functionality for comfortable year-round living. Featuring 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, over 4,100 square feet, a detached two-car garage, and a fully heated basement, it is ideal as a primary residence, mountain retreat, or investment property. This is more than a cabin—it's a mountain lifestyle.
