About this home
*** Price Improvement*** This is a rare opportunity to own a beautifully renovated home and 20 unrestricted acres near the Fires Creek Recreation area. Tucked away at the end of the private drive, 5221 Fires Creek Road offers a peaceful setting near hundreds of acres of pristine mountain wilderness, ideal for hiking, wildlife viewing, fishing, and outdoor recreation. This charmingly updated home blends rustic mountain character with modern conveniences, making it an ideal full-time residence, vacation getaway, or investment opportunity. The 20 acres of unrestricted land offers the option of hunting deer and turkey, taking private strolls or subdividing into several building lots with views when cleared. The home was remodeled in 2022/2023, and offers the perfect balance of comfort, functionality, and flexibility. It is thoughtfully refreshed with new appliances, flooring, cabinets and counter tops. The bathrooms are also refreshed, and the home has new AC and heating units. The basement is currently unfinished but offers a private entry and possible additional living / workspace perfect for extended family, guests or a workshop for the handy man or wood worker. This private retreat is ready for its new owners to enjoy the very best of mountain life. For the hunter, this land backs up to ~100 acres of U.S. Forest Service land.
