In spring, fragrant lilac bushes bloom throughout, adding color and charm. Adding even more value, the metro district fee ($184/m) covers essential services and sought-after amenities, including water, sewer, trash, snow removal, and road maintenance—making for easy, low-maintenance living. Residents also enjoy fishing rights on the community pond/lake, as well as access to scenic hiking and walking trails that wind throughout the neighborhood. Whether you're looking for a cozy full-time residence, a hobby farm opportunity, or a peaceful retreat with room to roam, this unique Swedish cope log home offers endless potential.
