** OPEN HOUSE: Sat., Jan. 29: 9:30-11 AM ** Coal Creek Canyon is the next mountain hot spot in the metro area and this is your chance to live the foothills lifestyle before prices skyrocket (it's happening, fast... +22% price appreciation in the last 12 months)! Located steps from Coal Creek Canyon K-8, 1.5 miles from the fire station, coffee shop, gas station, and liquor store, and just 7 miles up the Canyon from 93, this home is a blank canvas or a renovator's dream! Nestled on a .98 acre flat and sunny lot with stunning rock formations viewable from the living room and beautiful peak views from the family room and backyard, this formerly-functional home has a well, septic system, gas, and electric connections, although their current operating condition is unknown. Multiple additions have been added to the property over the years and it is much larger than 800 square feet (likely 2,500 square feet or so). There is a natural spring that runs under the property so water will always be mountain-fresh and crisp. You can skip the dirt roads with steep grades that are all too common in the Canyon. Ranch Elsie Road is a paved, publicly maintained road that is relatively flat and gently sloping and is suitable to drive on in most weather conditions that you will experience in the foothills. Scrape and rebuild, or renovate and update, the choice is all yours! The lucky CASH buyer will also be the new owner of the Pontiac Grand AM sedan and 27' Tiffin Allegro RV parked in the driveway!
