Property details
About 166 Swinging Bridge Ln
BASALT RIVERFRONT ~ Be among the fortunate few who live inches from an acclaimed gold-metal fishery located within one of best small towns in the mountain west. Situated on the banks of the storied Frying Pan River in the heart of the town of Basalt, Colorado this offering harkens back to a simpler time. Built in 1940, the home was one of the first cabins in the area here. Portions of the original stonework are preserved along with subtle indications of the craftsmanship of the day. Since then, the structure has been expanded and improved and now boasts 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, a 2-car garage and an Italian-style chef's kitchen. But time inside may be an afterthought as the enormous flagstone patio provides its own one-of-a-kind living area. Enjoy the tranquil sights and sounds or step right into the river and have a trout on the line in minutes. Although never rented, this home would make an excellent seasonal or short-term rental. Long admired, the opportunity to call this irreplaceable setting your own is finally at hand.
