Experience charming mountain living at its finest in this unique home atop Gate 8. The newly updated kitchen features gorgeous alder cabinetry and sleek granite countertops, blending modern convenience with rustic charm. A recently added lower-level bath and laundry room enhance everyday comfort. Enjoy the peace of mind that comes with CenturyLink-wired phone and internet-no need for new lines in this area where cell service is limited, and satellite options can be costly. While the well may raise questions, the current owner has lived here for 15 years without any supply issues. The home is equipped with a filtration system, new pressure tank, and a water heater. One of the standout features is the new 2,000-square-foot shop. With spray foam insulation, epoxy floors, a wood stove for heat, and an attached greenhouse, this space is perfect for hobbies, work, or storage. It even includes a 120-square-foot, 6-foot-deep pit in the third bay for your unique needs. The home's solar panels, only two years old, generate 4,000 kWh per year, adding energy efficiency to its list of perks. Additionally, a Mitsubishi Mr. Slim mini split supplements the cozy wood stove in the main house. Upstairs, you'll find a convenient Jack and Jill bath and a spacious walk-in closet. Step outside onto the expansive deck off the kitchen and soak in stunning mountain views-whether it's your morning coffee or an evening unwind, this spot offers the perfect escape. If you're seeking a quiet mountain lifestyle with feet of snow in the winter and a tranquil, scenic setting year-round, this home is calling your name.
