2156 Magnolia Road | $1.46M
Why is it Notable?
Originally offered at a wishful thinking price of $2M, this property checks a lot of boxes for mountain dream homes. Constructed in the 90’s, it has an attractive design and excellent views. It’s sitting on over 9 acres of land. The functional floor plan, adequate bedrooms/baths, and giant workshop make it a year-round, primary home option. The short driveway and reasonable 7,000’ elevation, ~twenty-minute drive to town (when weather and canyon construction cooperates), and nearby public open space trail access completes the picture. If they had priced it right at the beginning of the listing, it probably would have sold much, much faster and for more. Due Diligence
By the way, our recommended mountain home due diligence is much deeper than that for historic homes. When we represent mountain home buyers, we advise a careful evaluation of surveys, water testing, fire mitigation, seasonal access, and easements. And that’s just to start. In the case of Magnolia Road, it’s also important to understand the issues caused by nearby dispersed camping and how it might increase fire risk.
2156 Magnolia Road sold for $1.46M or 8.7% below the last asking price.
