Property Description
Nestled in the mountains of Utah near Brian Head ski resort, you'll find this charming, fully furnished cabin featuring 1,736 sq. ft. of living space plus an additional 1,120 sq. ft. finished basement. The cabin is situated on a .28-acre wooded lot close to the ski lodges and mountain bike park. The cabin is accessible all year around, because the town of Brian Head plows the road to the property. The first-floor living area features an open floor plan with a wood burning fireplace that provides a warm and cheerful gathering spot. It is enhanced by a stone surround and a convenient firewood storage area. An impressive wall of windows lets in natural light, and the home's placement maximizes the available sunshine.
The kitchen includes solid granite countertops, wood cabinets, ample storage space and stainless steel appliances that are included in the sale. With an inviting kitchen, a large dining area and a sizable kitchen island, this place is ideal for entertaining. The cabin has solid pine wood flooring everywhere except the basement, stairwell, bathrooms and laundry room.
An L-shaped deck offers you 176 sq. ft. of covered space and 259 sq. ft. of uncovered space to use for relaxing and taking in the peaceful wooded view from the property. This is the ideal spot to savor your morning cup of coffee, grill up a tempting meal, or hang some hummingbird feeders to see if the colorful birds will pay you a visit.
Stairs lead to a large loft area with windows and a full bathroom. This loft offers ample space that could be used in a variety of ways. It has most recently been used as a game room and for accommodating guests. However, it could be transformed into a screening room, a home office, a craft room, a home gym or a family room if you'd prefer to use it for any of those purposes.
The 3 full bathrooms have tile flooring and granite countertops on the vanities.
There is a large laundry room on the first floor that also offers access to the covered deck. The washing machine and dryer are included in the sale. A granite countertop gives you ample space for folding clothes, and the laundry area offers extra cabinet space for storing your family's essentials.
The utility room in the basement contains the water heater and gas furnace.
There is a 2 car attached garage for parking your vehicles or storing snowmobiles, UTVs, ATVs or mountain bikes. There's ample space for parking multiple vehicles in front of the cabin, with a large asphalt driveway and additional space that continues along the side of the cabin. The home is being offered along with most of its furnishings and appliances, but the tools, RZR and other personal items pictured in the garage are not included with the sale.
There are no HOA or association dues. The cabin has city water, electric, sewer and natural gas with options for satellite or cable TV and high speed Internet. Cell phone reception at the property has historically been excellent.
The cabin is situated on a spacious lot that is partially wooded and partially cleared. If you have kids or grandkids, there's plenty of space for them to play outdoors here. In the winter months, they can have snowball wars and build snowpeople and snow forts. In the summer months, they can look for frolicking chipmunks, deer, squirrels and birds or they can visit nearby Bristlecone Park to go fishing at the pond or play on the playground equipment.
The existing wooded landscape on this property is lovely and low-maintenance; this is ideal for the busy property owner who isn't inclined to invest sizable amounts of time in mowing grass or weeding flower beds or to spend a fortune on ongoing landscaping services.
However, for the determined gardener who wants to spend summers here enjoying the mild weather, this property does offer potential growing opportunities beyond just the existing aspen trees and evergreens. Some wildflowers like yarrow tend to thrive in this area, offering you potential opportunities to dress up your landscape during the summer months. Other nearby property owners have enjoyed success with growing flowers such as nasturtiums and irises after the snow has melted. It is also possible to grow a grass lawn in this area if that is what you want to do.
If you have a green thumb, it could theoretically be possible to grow a garden in the cleared spaces on this lot, although a short growing season and the aforementioned critters make gardening in Brian Head a challenge. Despite the challenges, other Brian Head property owners in the area have enjoyed success growing herbs and some cool-season vegetables like potatoes in container gardens. If you're inclined to try growing a balcony garden, this property offers you plenty of deck space to work with and there is space on the property to build a greenhouse if you're hoping to outwit the local wildlife.
The current original owners have never rented the cabin; it was only used for family vacations. However, the town of Brian Head has historically allowed both short and long-term rentals for properties in this immediate neighborhood (buyer to verify rules and regulations required by town); this cabin therefore has the potential to be an income-generating investment.
This is an ideal spot to make some fun family memories, or to entertain and impress your inner circle. The property is close to Brian Head Resort, which typically offers skiing, snowboarding and tubing in the winter and mountain biking, ziplining and a climbing wall in the summer. In wintertime, the powder in Brian Head is comparable to what you'll find at Park City and similar Utah resorts, which also makes for enjoyable sledding and snowmobiling. Outdoor ice skating has also recently become available in town during the coldest winter months.
It's less than a 10-minute drive from this property to either of the resort's two main lodges, Giant Steps Lodge or Navajo Lodge.
During ski season, Brian Head Town typically operates a free shuttle that stops in many convenient locations around town including both of the nearby ski lodges, the convenience stores and the local restaurants and hotels. There is a shuttle stop that's located within easy walking distance of this property.
This cabin is an ideal jumping off point for road trips to other noteworthy destinations in Utah and beyond. According to Google Maps, it's approximately 59 miles from this cabin to Bryce Canyon National Park, and about 70 miles to Zion National Park. It's about 245 miles from this cabin to Salt Lake City, and about 202 miles from this cabin to Las Vegas.
Whether you're in search of an epic outdoor experience in the mountains, or you're an investor who's interested in adding a mountain resort property to your portfolio, this cabin is worth your consideration. Call now to schedule a showing or submit an offer.
