Property Description
A cozy fully remodeled home, a meandering and cascading river running through the property, bordered on 2 sides by common space and then acres upon acres of national forest, a short walk to not just 1, but 2 waterfalls, INCLUDES AN ADDITIONAL LOT with the ability to build a 2nd free-standing residence, and patio views of the Ophir Needles...what more could you ask for in a mountain retreat only 15 minutes from the ski area? A true river-oasis, the home resembles an elevated ''treehouse'' with spacious, vaulted, and natural post-and-beam architecture with a perfect combination of brightness and warmth. The floor plan offers 2 bedrooms, 2.5 baths plus a superb loft. 1,000+ sf of wrap-around deck space. True comparable properties simply don't exist for this gem.
