About this home

MOUNTAIN, CREEK + WATERFALL VIEWS! A creek and waterfall run along the front of this secluded 7.47-acre property. High on the hill above the paved road, Owltown Cabin overlooks long-range mountain views. Just outside of the oversized double carport, the sound of the waterfall and fresh mountain air invite you to slow down. Peacefulness surrounds you. This furnished three-level cabin pairs soaring ceilings and expansive windows with panoramic views. In the great room, an 18' stone wood-burning fireplace with a live-edge mantel rises to a magnificent 30' log rafter, while tongue-and-groove wood and exposed beams add warmth throughout. The open living, kitchen and dining area makes gathering easy. A granite island with a breakfast bar keeps the cook in the conversation, and two electric ranges and dual ovens make holiday meals seamless. A bedroom and full bath on each level offer privacy for everyone. The main-level primary suite has a double-sink vanity, a walk-in shower with built-in seating, and direct access to the west deck and hot tub for sunset views. Upstairs, a loft with a queen bed and sunrise views shares a full bath with a bunk room that opens to a Juliet balcony. The finished lower level is made for fun, with a second stone fireplace, home theater and full-size pool table. A queen bedroom and third bath open to a covered porch, where the creek's soft murmur lulls you to sleep. About 3,500 sq ft of wraparound decking on two levels and a rocking-chair front porch invite you to enjoy crisp mornings, colorful sunsets and the occasional winter snowfall, all to the sound of the waterfall below. A new HVAC system (9/26), whole-house generator, storage building and smart home features add convenience. Fully furnished, including cookware, dishes and linens, Owltown Cabin is move-in ready as a full-time home or private mountain getaway.
