51 E Buttermilk Creek RoadTwisp, WA 98856Price: $439,000

Located in the upper reaches of the Twisp River valley, this exceptional riverfront property features a storybook cabin with all the comforts of a 4-season camp. The charming and rustic earth-sheltered home features a sunlit entry, cozy kitchen and open living area centered around a wood-burning stove, second-story bedroom that opens to a covered porch, and upper level sleeping loft. The separate bathhouse, large shop and covered outdoor dining pavilion feature locally-sourced stone and wood and take advantage of the property's private setting on the edge of a large sunny meadow. The property has well-developed infrastructure for its current use or future improvements, including 200 AMP underground power and RV hookup, two 500-gallon propane tanks, a whole-home backup generator, 30 gal/min registered well, and gravity-fed irrigation water from the historic Buttermilk ditch. Once home to a primitive skills camp, the property is well-situated for exploring acres of public forestland, nearby mountain lakes, neighborhood walking paths and scenic back roads for biking, hunting or a myriad of winter sports. The property was recently thinned under a DNR-approved forest management plan. Enjoy views of the surrounding hills and buttes, gather with friends in the covered firepit pavilion, or wander down a short path from the level cabin site to 300' of private riverfront. An adjoining 6.89 acre riverfront parcel is also available to expand your magical Methow Valley retreat.
