452 East River Lane, Almont – Sold! Excited for my Buyers who won out in a multiple offer situation for this unique offering! This tastefully upgraded and totally transformed 4-bedroom, 3-bath log home blends mountain modern comfort with a twist of Western charm in one of my old neighborhoods I have fond memories of! Once a rustic log cabin, the Sellers added a huge great room with an expansive living/kitchen/dining space, soaring ceilings, a striking stone fireplace, and basically gutted the entire cabin! Featuring a wrap-around deck overlooking a lush 1.73 acres of manicured grounds with multiple private outdoor retreats. The oversized 2-car garage includes generous storage and a charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath guest suite with its own entry and mudroom. Set in a private enclave near the East River and just a short walk to local resorts and the confluence of three renowned rivers, this is a rare offering due to the fact that most properties in this area usually stay in the same family for generations. What is wild? I had listed this home 13 years ago for Dwight & Pam Bode (for $449,000) and the before and after is remarkable! Hats off to Michelle Phelps with Guild Mortgage for assisting the buyers throughout the entire process! Sales Price: $2,430,000 with Buyer Representation

Not very often does something like this rare and unique come along and it went under contract in only 17 days and commanded over $801/sf, which is the second highest price per square foot sale in the Almont/Spring Creek area with the last year! This daring log home had an irrigation ditch nearby, was nestled among towering pines, enjoyed 1.6 acres and best of all had 156 feet of frontage along the eastern bank of Spring Creek.

Inside this rustic retreat, you’ll find warm pine paneling, exposed log beams, vaulted ceilings, rich antique wood flooring, a cobblestone fireplace and a unique layout enhanced by radiant in-floor heat. The updated kitchen shares this open space and features custom cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a massive granite slab island that seats seven+, and a skylight that fills the space with natural light. The cabin’s well-planned layout includes three spacious bedrooms, each with its own updated en-suite bathroom. Relax on one of three expansive decks—including one atop the garage that offers panoramic views, and an enclosed BONUS room with room for 2 twin beds and its own half bath. To the west of the property lies a charming irrigation ditch, shallow enough for kids to splash in, complete with a log bridge and shaded sitting area. On the eastern side, a wide-open meadow overlooks the creek and offers plenty of room to build a detached garage or to park an RV or UTVs for visiting guests. Also included for the fisherman is approximately 650 feet of shared fishing on Spring Creek and water rights!— a truly unique find! Currently operating as an AirB&B, this property has loads of income-producing potential. Sold for Full Asking Price: $1,319,000. Seller and Buyer Representation ,
