Situated on 7.98 private acres in Whitewood, this updated mountain property offers 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, mountain and meadow views, a seasonal pond, no HOA, county-maintained roads, and an unfinished loft above the detached two-car garage with future studio potential. Approximately 10 miles from Steamboat Springs and within the Steamboat Springs RE-2 School District, it offers privacy, flexibility, and year-round access. Enjoy a glimpse of Sleeping Giant before winding through mature aspens to this peaceful setting. Fresh interior paint, exterior trim, and decks complement the home's mountain character. The updated farmhouse kitchen features quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, exposed beams, and stone accents. Enjoy coffee on the east-facing deck and sunsets over the Yampa Valley from the west-facing deck. The multi-level floor plan includes an open living and dining area, kitchen, entry, and half bath on the main level. Upstairs are two guest bedrooms, an updated full bath, and a reading or office nook. The walk-out lower level features the primary suite, ensuite bath, laundry, utility room, separate entrance, and direct outdoor access. Nearly eight acres invite you to create your own Colorado lifestyle. Explore walking trails through the aspens, garden, keep horses, llamas, or chickens, let your dogs roam, or simply enjoy the peace, privacy, wildlife, and changing seasons. The detached two-car garage includes an unfinished loft ideal for a future studio, guest suite, or home office. Electric and water are available at the garage, and the septic system was designed to support future expansion. The septic system was repaired and pumped last fall. A rare opportunity to enjoy nearly eight acres in Whitewood with convenient access to Steamboat Springs and the Steamboat Ski Area.
