Welcome to your own peaceful retreat in the countryside! Set on almost 7 acres of beautiful, gently rolling land, this low-maintenance mountain property offers privacy, tranquility, and stunning mountain views. Mature trees surround the home, while creeks border two sides of the property, creating a serene setting where you can relax on either of the two covered porches, watch wildlife, and enjoy the changing seasons. The land offers plenty of room to explore, with a walking path just behind the house and a large, level area that could become an incredible garden, outdoor gathering space, or whatever your mountain lifestyle requires. The home is being offered mostly furnished, making it an easy opportunity to settle in and start enjoying immediately.
Inside, the upper level features two bedrooms and two full baths, along with abundant storage and wonderful natural light. The lower level offers an impressive oversized garage and workshop, plus a dedicated office space and a third full bath. This additional finished/functional area is not included in the home's overall square footage, offering exceptional flexibility for hobbies, projects, storage, or workspace. It is heated with a monitor wall heater. Additional features include a whole-house generator, Z-Wave Home automation system, shed, carport, and plenty of usable land. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, a peaceful mountain getaway, or a property with room to garden, work, and enjoy the outdoors, this special setting offers the space, privacy, and simplicity you've been looking for.
