Sitting on 5.79+/- acres, this private, turnkey, and profitable custom timber-frame cabin offers long-range mountain views, strong rental performance, and the setup today's guests are looking for in a gated community! Inside you'll find hardwood floors, cathedral ceilings, and an open layout centered around a spacious kitchen with new granite countertops and appliances. Multiple living areas and added bunk sleeping make it ideal for larger groups, while the fully finished lower level doubles as a game room with a pool table, poker table and air hockey. Step outside to enjoy the hot tub, updated decking, and peaceful mountain setting. Recent updates include a brand new HVAC and furnace, updated furnishings, and new lighting—making this a ready to go investment. While the features are impressive, the real story here is the income potential. This is already a successful STR, and that's with the current owners taking a minimal, mostly Airbnb-only approach. A more hands-on strategy with expanded marketing and platform exposure could significantly increase bookings and revenue. A rare chance to step into a proven property with clear upside potential from day one.
