The owner has already had a trail cleared all the way to the creek, making those 327 feet of frontage an accessible part of the property rather than simply something to admire from above. Additional plans were never completed, leaving plenty of opportunity for the next owner to make it their own. Inside, the home feels fresh, warm, and inviting.

Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, second home, mountain getaway, or potential short-term rental, this property offers a rare combination of like brand new construction, creek frontage, mountain views, exceptional privacy on a paved road. Creekside mornings, sunsets from the deck, evenings by the firepit, and star-filled nights-your private or income producing mountain retreat awaits.
