For the last 27 years, the original owners have meticulously maintained every facet of the house while focusing on its functionality.

Relax in your brand-new private hot tub with jaw-dropping views of Sunshine Peak, or, if you're more of the adventurous type, explore your own personal mine, grab a bike and hop on the adjacent Galloping Goose trail, or head over the mountain on a private hike to Ophir. The mountains are yours to explore.
