A rare offering in 1 of Fernie's most coveted locations, perfectly positioned between downtown and the ski hill. Set on 5 acres of mostly natural forest land and backing onto Crown Land, this 4 bed rancher offers an exceptional blend of privacy, space and convenience, with trails, the Elk River, downtown and the ski hill all just minutes away. Thoughtfully positioned east facing to capture sunshine, the home is surrounded by perennial landscaping and inviting outdoor spaces that make the acreage enjoyable in every season. Inside, River City wood finishing creates timeless character throughout, including oak hardwood floors. Oversized windows fill the main living areas with natural light; the sunken living room, dining area, kitchen, breakfast nook and family room create a comfortable layout designed for connection and room to spread out. Air conditioning adds comfort in warm months. 3 original bedrooms and a full bathroom are complemented by a 4th bedroom addition at the rear, offering flexibility as a private guest space, games room, home office or potential short term rental. An oversized attached heated double garage, full footprint crawl space, wood stove and abundant storage add practicality. Four outbuildings provide options for gardening, homesteading, hobbies, animals or storage. A truly special opportunity to enjoy the space and privacy of an acreage lifestyle while being essentially in town; close to all that makes Fernie such a remarkable place to live. (id:41202)
