About this home

Classic Country Living with Mountain Views & Room to Breathe! Discover the charm of simpler mountain living on 2.74 level acres in Burnsville, where open pasture, mature trees, and year-round Mountain views create a beautiful backdrop for everyday life. This one-level 3-bedroom, 1-bath farmhouse offers 1,450 square feet of comfortable living space with the character of an older home and plenty of opportunity to make it your own. Inside, you'll find hardwood floors in the living room and bedrooms, warm wood paneling, and a spacious living room centered around a native-stone hearth with wood-burning stove. Owners have recently replaced the cooktop and range hood in the kitchen. The living room flows into the dining area and kitchen, creating an easy gathering space. A separate laundry/utility room provides additional workspace and storage, while the cheerful sunroom offers a bright place to enjoy the surrounding landscape in every season. Outside is where this property really shines. The level acreage includes fenced pasture and open space with room for gardening, outdoor projects, recreation, or simply enjoying the rare luxury of usable land in the mountains. A detached two-car garage with additional storage, separate carport, and multiple outbuildings provide plenty of space for vehicles, equipment, hobbies, workshop space, or creative pursuits. There's also a small shed in the backyard for additional storage or hobby space! With no HOA, paved road access, level acreage, mountain views, and a peaceful country setting, this property offers an opportunity to create the kind of mountain lifestyle that's becoming increasingly difficult to find. Whether you're looking for a full-time home, a country retreat, or a place with room for gardens, hobbies, and outdoor living, 165 Cattail Creek Road is ready for its next chapter. Property is located within a floodplain. Buyers should independently verify flood zone information, insurance availability and requirements, and suitability of the property for their intended use.
