About this House

You've heard it many times before, but this place comes as close as any to having it all. Close to town, but with privacy galore. As good of a view as anyone could want without sacrificing accessibility. An executive size home suited for entertaining, or raising a family, or both. Well maintained and move in ready. This residence has something that is missing in so many places today, "livability." And did we mention the 117+/- acres that go along with it? Try to find that within a few minutes of the city limits. Property is your guarantee of privacy and independence with endless possibilities. Has an older road that allows access to majority of acreage. Never need to hop in car to take a nature walk, simply walk out your front door and enjoy so much of what our beautiful mountains have to offer. A rare find and not likely to last long. Schedule this one as a must see.
