Tucked away on 5 unrestricted acres, this inviting mountain property offers privacy, versatility, and room to enjoy the outdoors, all surrounded by the natural beauty of the High Country. A beautiful driveway welcomes you onto the property, where open areas, mature trees, mountain views, and a spring-fed pond create a peaceful setting with plenty of possibilities. The home offers over 2,200 square feet of living space, plus an additional 475 square feet of heated partially finished basement area. This sheetrocked lower-level space provides added flexibility and could serve as a home gym, workshop, hobby or craft area, or additional storage. Outside, a multi-use metal building provides additional storage and could also serve as a shelter or barn for animals. A brand-new, never-used chicken coop with a 16-foot enclosed run is ready for its first flock and designed to help keep chickens protected. With 5 unrestricted acres, there is room for gardening, animals, recreation, or simply enjoying the privacy and beauty of your surroundings. Open areas, wooded spaces, mountain views, and the spring-fed pond give this property the kind of setting that makes mountain living special. A new metal roof installed in 2023 adds to the home's appeal while the propane-powered Generac generator gives you peace of mind. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, mountain getaway, or a property with space to create your own mini-homestead, 248 James F. Watson Road offers the acreage, flexibility, and setting to make it your own.
