This is an incredible opportunity to own one of Buena Vista’s most iconic and historic log cabins! The whole quarter section of town that this home is located in is known as, ‘Loan’s Addition’ and it is believed that Frank Loan himself was the first owner of this property. Its believed this cabin was one of the first buildings in Buena Vista and was moved to where it currently lies in 1879! Now known as ‘Camp San Juan’, this property has been a great family getaway to the current owners and has a record of being a very successful short term rental! This cabin has completely updated electricity(including the service connect), plumbing(including the sewer cline), and finishes(floors, walls, and ceiling). The cabin is heated with new Cove radiant heaters and a high efficiency Mörso cast iron wood burning stove. The interior of the home has been completely remodeled and restored with tasteful modern detailing! The attention to detail in the living room, primary bedroom, and upstairs truly create an experience! The exterior was completely replaced with cedar plank siding in the Spring of 2016 and the roof was updated with a 100 year 26 gauge glavalume metal roof. New Anderson windows and new doors, and the back door is 36” wide for moving furniture and ADA access. This home sits on an incredible lot, half an acre in size, with a seasonal ditch that runs through it which sub-irrigates part of the yard. There is a detached two car garage with electricity to it, two sheds, and also a potato cellar adjacent to the cabin itself. Not only is this home a great candidate for short term renting, it is also a great opportunity for development. This property is a great opportunity for development as it sits on 7 potential in-town lots, zoned R-2 old town, all with alley access.
