Your private escape above it all. Perched at the top of the mountain, this move-in ready 1-bedroom, 1-bath cabin delivers what most getaways only promise: privacy, quiet, and long-range views that stop you in your tracks. Start your morning with coffee on the front porch as the mountains light up, unwind on the side porch in the afternoon, and end the day around the fire pit on cool mountain evenings. Inside, it's been thoughtfully set up as a cozy retreat, easy to lock up and easy to love. It's practical, too. An attached tool shed/laundry area just outside the front door adds storage and everyday function, and a second driveway gives you room for an RV, motorhome, or extra vehicles. Yes, the drive up is a little steep, but that's exactly what buys you the seclusion and the view at the top, and it's well worth the climb. With low HOA dues of just $425 per year and no known restrictions, plus Lot #16 included in the same parcel, with its own drive that could house an RV or possibly a second structure, this one offers rare value and flexibility. Don't just imagine the view. Come stand on the porch and see it for yourself. Schedule your private showing today. It's hard to find a home this nice in this pricepoint. Don't miss out!
