Tucked away in the serene pines of the sought-after Game Trail community, this private
mountain sanctuary offers the ultimate escape with absolute privacy—not a neighbor in
sight. Inside, expansive windows flood the home with natural light, seamlessly
connecting the interior to a spacious wrap-around deck and a secluded hot tub patio. Views from the deck are breathtaking. And just inside, the master bedroom suite is a true retreat, featuring a newly upgraded bath and direct
access to the crisp mountain air on the back deck. Downstairs, a cozy family room joins
two flexible bedrooms in a walkout level with separate entrance—perfect for guests, a home office, or a personal gym.
The property’s best-kept secret? A heated, "cabin-style" bonus room attached to the
garage, complete with a crackling wood stove. It’s the perfect spot for a writer's studio,
a quiet guest nook, or your own private yoga retreat. Fully furnished and just minutes
from the charm of downtown Buena Vista, this turnkey home is ready to be your full-
time residence or a high-performing short-term rental (generating over $56k in 2025).
SPECIAL FINANCING TERMS OFFERED: No processing/appraisal/origination/credit report fees with approved offer (contact agent for details).
