Overview: Cabin Living, Fisherman’s Dreams, and Shade from the Sun!
For the cool price of $275,000, you can snag 3915 N Movie Ranch Rd, Alton, UT 84710 — your stylish log cabin in the bustling wilderness of Utah (yes, that’s sarcasm; it’s more of a peaceful spot with a couple of critters for neighbors). What’s better? You get all of this for just $1,010 a month—think of all the flies you could catch (or not catch, depending on your fishing skills)!
This quaint 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom log cabin is a mere 716 square feet of rustic charm. Built in 1965, it’s surely got a few stories to tell; maybe some ghost stories from the original owners. Or perhaps just tales of who wins at poker night. The property sprawls over 0.48 acres of land, which is basically enough space to panic about your next home improvement project or pretend to build a garden that you won’t maintain.
Cabin Features That You’ll Adore…and Maybe Not
Interior Highlights: Cozy Meets “I’m Not Sure About That”
Bedrooms:
- 3 total: because sleeping arrangements should feel more complicated than a Rubik’s cube with an extra layer of “do we really know each other?”
- Primary Bedroom: Hugging the edge of the lovely loft area, it’s the cooler clubhouse for adults—sleep ‘under’ Loft #1, which sounds way cooler than it actually is.
- Loft Bedroom 2: Two twin beds—perfect for fighting with your sibling over who gets the blankets.
- Loft Bedroom 3: One lonely twin again—designated for the cousin who doesn’t bring their own towel.
Bathroom:
- A 3/4 bath means you can wash your hands after all those fish-catching excursions, but don’t expect any fancy spa experience here. Think more “functional” than “fancy.”
Living Room:
- Complete with a cozy setup that features an overstuffed leather couch and chairs—a perfect spot for sitting and wondering if you, too, can manage to avoid a long hike to the Aspen-Mirror Lake.
Kitchen & Dining:
- Kitchen nods toward the ‘just enough space to make breakfast for one’ vibe—good luck pulling off a Thanksgiving dinner here!
Heating:
- Featuring a space heater and a wood-burning stove, which might cause you to accidentally become a lumberjack—how’s that for a career pivot?
Throw in Some Exquisite Features
Covered Porch: You get a front-row seat for those sunsets over your spring-fed basin that is only slightly teased by the fact that it’s not truly yours until the fishing license is obtained.
View: Gorgeous mountain and valley vistas slap you right in the face, but the real charm lies in the location’s tranquility. Peaceful, yes—but also potentially unsettling if you forget the local legends of mountain man tales.
Property Details: To Love or Not to Love?
Parking: RV access meets the “I have a lot of stuff” criteria. Currently, you’ll have plenty of options for your perfectly unused recreational vehicle.
Zoning: Don’t ask me—I’m not a zoning lawyer; but who questions zoning when you can just smell the pines?
Condition: It’s been standing since 1965, which can be both a good measure of steadiness or a reason for concern about that roof above your head. After all, life is about bold choices!
Community Life: City Break Meets Wilderness
Located in the breathtakingly serene Alton, this cabin gives you the best of both worlds—closeness to nature without the endless annoyances of cities. Forget about Netflix; you’re about to start living out your rustic rom-com fantasy! Just don’t forget to pack your mosquito repellent.
Proximity to Fun
Shopping and Restaurants: Unravel the layers of convenience with nearby shops and delightful dining. Spoiler alert: you might actually try to make your own cooking adventures happen once you get inspired by the majestic outdoors (or more likely, you’ll just stock up on frozen pizzas).
Outdoor Activities: Whether it’s hiking, cross-country skiing, or just sitting around contemplating life choices, you’ve got an array of options just waiting for you.
Final Thoughts: Is It for You?
This might not be your glamorous dream home; it’s more like that quirkiest friend you love—a bit rough around the edges but full of personality. Sure, it’s got some quirks, like the cozy vibes that might feel more claustrophobic than cozy at times. But it’s also a place where adventures, fishing tales, and life lessons can take root, and where you should definitely leave your couch for the outdoors once in a while.
So if you’re ready for a fixer-upper with heaps of charm in a tiny package and wild neighbors (both animal and human), don’t hesitate!
