$129,000

This cozy cabin has been in the same family for 97 years. Heated by an efficient pellet stove and equipped with power, this cabin can be used year-round. There's plenty of room to bring in a small range/oven and the vintage refrigerator is included. The outhouse is equipped with a chemical toilet and very close to the cabin. The two small bedrooms can easily be converted to a single sleeping space for added functionality. The deck at the front door seats 3-4 persons and stays cool all summer long. The third of an acre offers plenty of room for guests or visitors. This is a very quiet space and is just a couple of minutes to a grocery, restaurant, or other shopping in Red Feather Lakes village. The two lots that comprise the property are separately deeded which would allow the vacant lot on the north to be sold. Stated footage and taxes are for both lots combined. It's a short walk just over the hill to Dowdy Lake and Lake Letitia is nearby, as well. This property backs to national forest! Come and see the potential of this historic cabin!
