A charming two bedroom, one bathroom log home nestled in the town of Buena Vista on two town lots with ample outdoor space, beautiful trees and enormous mountain views. A new roof and underlayment was installed in December 2024 with a 10 year transferable warranty. The remodeled and open-concept interior comes fully-furnished and turnkey boasting wide plank flooring, fresh paint, new exterior window screens and an abundance of natural light with views of the surrounding mountains. Furnishings can be excluded from the purchase. The two cozy bedrooms offer queen beds and the full bathroom has a new stackable wash/dryer and sufficient storage for towels and linens. There is an attached storage area on the back exterior of the home for all your outdoor gear and access to utilities. Furnace and water heater were recently serviced. Park your vehicle in the covered carport or finish into an enclosed garage or additional living space. A seasonal ditch runs along the property. The prime location is just a short walk or bike ride to downtown Buena Vista for shopping, restaurants, trails and river access. This property makes for a successful short-term rental or an ideal primary home!
