    What's special

    Long-range mountain viewsTwo loft-style roomsRoomy kitchenReal privacyVaulted ceilingsFamily roomPlenty of storage
    This multi-level cabin rests high on a wooded ridge, and that elevation buys you two things that are hard to find together: real privacy and long-range mountain views that stretch out past the tree line. This one is a fixer-upper, a true handyman special, and it's priced to reflect that. For the right buyer with a little vision and some sweat equity, it's a chance to build real value in a location that's tough to beat. The great room sets the tone with vaulted ceilings, a fireplace for the cool mountain evenings, and large windows that pull the landscape right into the room. The main level offers a roomy kitchen, a dedicated dining area, and a primary suite with a full bath. Upstairs you'll find two loft-style rooms and another full bath, flexible enough for guests, family, or whatever the space needs to be. The terrace level adds even more room, a family room, a full bath, laundry, and plenty of storage, ready to become a game space or a comfortable spot for longer stays. The real draw is outside. Morning coffee on the deck, evening light coming down over the ridge, mature trees all around, and the kind of quiet that comes with being up high in the mountains. Cash or conventional
