Large windows and a cozy sunroom bring the outdoors in with peaceful views of trees, hills, and wildlife. The kitchen includes a breakfast bar, vented gas range, dishwasher, and refrigerator-everything you need to cook and entertain. The nook, dining room living room overlook the downstairs family room with a wood-burning fireplace insert. Also, downstairs offers two bedrooms, 3/4 bathroom, laundry area, and bonus space for office, guests, or hobbies. Heating options include propane hot water baseboards, wood stove, and supplemental electric-plus ceiling fans for comfort.

The fenced backyard offers space for pets or gardening, and there's plenty of RV parking and room to roam. With no HOA and Custer County zoning, you have freedom to use the land your way. This quiet location is just minutes to Wetmore, Florence, and access to major routes. Surrounded by nature with direct trail access, this is home for anyone looking for mountain living with practical features, flexible space, and unbeatable access to the outdoors.
