Property Description
Tucked away in a peaceful mountain setting, this 2 bedroom one bath cottage is full of potential and price under $100k which is an increasingly rare find. Situated on a little over half an acre, the property offers beautiful mountain views. Yes, it needs some tender loving care but with some vision and updates this could become the perfect mountain getaway or cozy full time home. It's just waiting for your personal touch. Outside you will find two carports and two outbuildings for storage, hobbies or workshop. There is a nice flat area at the top that has been used for a garden for years. If you are looking for an affordable property come take a look. The is about 300 sq ft on the second floor where bedroom and bonus are. The ceiling height is 6.92 and not 7'+ so we are unable to use that in the total footage. See measurement in supplements. R119 RPS
