Situated in the highly desirable upper Fern Valley, this property features a rare flat and usable lot, offering easier access and more functional outdoor space than typical sloped mountain parcels.
The cabin is updated and comes mostly furnished, making it an ideal 'plug-and-play' opportunity for a vacation home or an immediate income-producing short-term rental.
Built in 1964, the property may have underlying aging systems or insulation limitations common to older A-frames that could require future capital improvement.
