The basement adds heated space along with laundry, workshop and storage areas. This home is being sold as-is and does need significant repairs and updating, but for the right buyer, that is also the opportunity. With vision and renovation, the property could become a one-of-a-kind mountain retreat, full-time residence, or investment in a setting that would be difficult to recreate. Existing well and septic are already in place, adding valuable infrastructure.
