A rare 'Spotted Owl' sits among the pine trees patiently awaiting your arrival! This rustic, 1,547 sq. ft. one level, beautiful 3 bedroom/ 2 bath home gives you that true "cabin in the mountains" feel while still being modern, cozy and unique inside! The wonderful 'Spotted Owl' has recently been remodeled and includes gorgeous finishing touches that you'll have to see to believe; from granite countertops and stainless steel appliances in the kitchen, to a gas fireplace you control with a switch on the wall! It even has LED lighting in the living room for some added ambiance in the evenings! While being close to shopping and dining, Spotted Owl is a one level home located in an area of Ruidoso that boasts a secluded and peaceful feeling at the same time. This lovely home has an amazing gated and fenced in front deck for you to enjoy the sights and sounds of the forest while enjoying your morning coffee or evening glass of wine, as well as a private, gated and fenced in backyard for your dog friends (and/or children) to run around in while you grill up some food or relax and unwind in the brand new 5 person hot tub. Included is parking on the side of the home and once entering the back gate, there are virtually no stairs to have to climb to the backdoor! Peaceful and serene, this is the perfect getaway to retreat to and simply not 'give a hoot'! Spotted Owl has central air-conditioning and heat, gas fireplace, and a brand new RO water filtration system (as of 2021). 4 wheel drive and/or chains are highly recommended in the winter months. **Home is equipped with driveway and/or ring doorbell cameras for the safety of our guests and the home. These cameras are only located facing outward toward the driveway or front entrance.
