Property Description
Charming, Immaculate Cabin on 1.1 Private Wooded Acres. Never before on the market, this immaculate 3 bedroom, 2 bath cabin is a rare offering and a true labor of love. Developed by the seller and cherished as the family's beloved vacation retreat, this home has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully cared for at every turn. Set back from the road for added privacy, the cabin is surrounded by peaceful wooded land. Enjoy lazy afternoons in the outdoor hammock, or gather loved ones for memorable marshmallow‑roasting around the fire pit, complete with rustic wooden benches. Inside, the home is perfectly designed to accommodate multiple family members, making it an excellent choice as a vacation cabin, full‑time residence, or income‑producing Airbnb. The high‑end wood stove and hearth create a cozy centerpiece for cold winter nights, adding both warmth and timeless cabin charm. A true highlight of the home is the light‑filled sunroom--complete with electricity and dual exterior access doors perfect for enjoying nature year‑round while staying comfortably indoors. Additional highlights include waterproof luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout the main level, a covered front porch with unique non‑slip entry stairs for added peace of mind, detached two‑car garage with new siding and paint, a brand‑new exterior staircase that leads to a finished room above the garage perfect for a home office, guest space, or creative studio, and a cleared pest inspection. Charming, homey, and comfortable best describe this sweet cabin a place where every detail reflects pride of ownership and years of loving care. This is a special opportunity to own a truly turn‑key mountain retreat in beautiful Alta.
