Charming mountain retreat with year-round flowing creek, now offering a rare lease option opportunity. Set on nearly 3 private acres at the end of a quiet dead-end street, this updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers the perfect blend of peaceful rural living and modern comfort. A crystal-clear creek runs through the property, creating a serene setting that's hard to find. Inside, the home is light and inviting, featuring fresh interior paint (including ceilings), new flooring, updated appliances, and a spacious kitchen with ample cabinetry and a breakfast bar that opens to the dining and living areas. Additional improvements include a whole-house water filtration system, new blinds, and smart entry door locks. The property is designed for both comfort and functionality, with a new septic leach field, an owned propane tank, a generator hookup with a covered enclosure, and Starlink equipment installed above the tree line for reliable connectivity. The front entry is accessible for wheelchair or walker use, and the indoor laundry adds everyday convenience. Outside, the usable acreage offers exceptional versatility, with a fully fenced backyard, a horse corral with a covered stall, a chicken coop, a dog run, and fruit trees. A detached garage includes a workshop/man cave with wood stove, along with an additional storage shed equipped with electricity and water. There is also ample space for RV and boat parking. Recently surveyed, with corners marked and located at an ideal elevation that sees occasional snow without heavy accumulation, this property is well-suited for full-time living, a second home, or a flexible lease-option purchase.
