What's special

Rare in-town acreageSurrounding mountain viewsMature shade treesOpen space

Rare in-town acreage with room to create your vision! Tucked away at the end of a private driveway easement, this unique property offers 1.54 level, usable acres, mature shade trees, open space, surrounding mountain views, and a large vintage barn with abundant room for storage, equipment, hobbies, or a workshop. The existing 3-bedroom, 2-bath home provides approximately 1,466 square feet and is ready for a buyer to bring fresh ideas and a little TLC. City water, city sewer, and high-speed internet availability add valuable convenience while preserving the spacious feel of a rural property. Currently zoned SFR-10, the property presents multiple possibilities. Keep it as one oversized in-town homesite, explore adding an ADU, investigate subdividing to build on or sell additional lot opportunities, or pursue rezoning for a possible tiny-home community or other residential development concept. The expansive rear portion of the property is largely open and provides a versatile canvas.
