This is more than a home — it is an experience. Tucked into a private, peaceful, almost storybook setting, this remarkable property offers a rare sense of magic from the moment you arrive. The beautiful 3-bedroom, 2-bath Spruce log cabin sits alongside ~1,500 feet of Methow River frontage, fantastic for fishing or beach adventures. Set on 2+ fully irrigated acres, the property has a detached 2-car garage and a 30x50 heated & insulated shop with 220 power and a 1-bedroom, 1-bath apartment. Three additional tiny homes — each complete with a kitchenette and washer/dryer — are currently rented, offering immediate income potential, guest space, or the option to remove or sell them for added privacy. A gazebo, firepit, raised garden beds, fruit trees, two wells, and a newer metal roof complete this truly one-of-a-kind riverfront retreat. Ideally located just minutes from year-round recreation - golf, fishing, boating, swimming, horseback riding, & white water rafting & so much more! Do not miss this rare opportunity to own an unforgettable piece of the Methow.
