Summary
A well-kept A-frame cabin with a metal roof, surrounded by mature pine and aspen. The biggest risk is in the first 5 feet: wood mulch, a firewood stack and pine needles against the deck. Clearing that zone and screening the vents would move this property well into good shape — most of it is weekend work.
