The fenced backyard, detached two-car garage, and two storage sheds provide plenty of space for vehicles, outdoor gear, hobbies, and mountain living. Served by Buffalo Creek Water, Starlink high-speed internet, propane, and a permitted septic system that was recently pumped, this home offers modern convenience without sacrificing its mountain charm.
