Property is new construction or fully renovated.
The property has undergone a comprehensive top-to-bottom renovation within the last five years, effectively neutralizing its 1962 build date. It features a brand-new kitchen with custom cabinetry and stainless steel appliances, updated electrical and plumbing systems, new mini-split HVAC units, and extensive exterior upgrades including a new deck, spa, and landscaping, meeting the highest standards for move-in readiness.
The property has been comprehensively updated from top to bottom, including new electrical, plumbing, and a modern kitchen, offering a move-in-ready experience with no immediate capital expenditure required.
With $36,000 in existing bookings for 2025, this property is a high-performing vacation rental that provides immediate cash flow and a 'dialed-in' investment opportunity for buyers.
The exterior features a new back deck, spa, and hardwired fire pit, creating a premium mountain retreat atmosphere that maximizes the lot for entertainment and guest appeal.
At only 864 square feet with a single bathroom, the home's small footprint may be restrictive for larger families or groups, potentially limiting its appeal to a broader buyer pool.
The local elementary and middle schools carry low ratings (2 and 3 respectively), which may be a significant drawback for buyers looking to establish a primary residence with school-aged children.
