🏔️ $52K Revenue on a $299K Chalet
This is the kind of small-footprint, experience-driven STR that can be interesting at a sub-$300K price point.
The 681-square-foot mountain chalet has generated approximately $52,000 over the past 12 months, which at the $299K asking price works out to roughly a:
17.4% Gross Revenue-to-Price Ratio
And the product itself is built around what guests are coming for: panoramic mountain and valley views, a wraparound deck, hot tub, lofted chalet design and 4.56 acres of privacy.
🏡 The Asset
1721 Highland Springs, Old Fields, WV 26845
💰 Price: $299,000
💵 Trailing 12-Month Revenue: ~$52,000
📊 Gross Revenue / Price: ~17.4%
🛏️ 1 Bedroom / Loft
🚿 1 Bathroom
📐 681 Sq Ft
🌲 ~4.56 Acres Across Two Parcels
🏔️ Panoramic Mountain + Valley Views
♨️ Hot Tub Available
🌅 Large Wraparound Deck
💻 Dedicated Workspace + WiFi
💰 The Investment Case
At approximately $52K in trailing 12-month revenue, the property is priced at only about 5.75x gross revenue.
That's gross revenue—not cap rate—but it's a compelling starting point for a $299K property with an existing STR operating history.
The seller can also connect the buyer with the existing property manager and cleaner, potentially making the transition much easier than launching a new rental from scratch.
There's even a $1,000 buyer credit available for continuing with the current property manager.
🌄 The Views Are the Amenity
The chalet sits high on Highland Springs Mountain, with large chalet-style windows and twin sliding glass doors designed to bring the landscape directly into the living space.
Outside, there's a large wraparound deck, hot tub and grilling area overlooking distant ridgelines and valley farmland.
The 4.56 acres are also spread across two parcels, including an additional raw-land parcel positioned in front of the cabin. That helps preserve the property's views and privacy while creating some additional long-term flexibility.
The surrounding area offers access to the Potomac River, ATV/off-road recreation, public lands and other outdoor activities, giving guests plenty to do beyond the property itself.
📊 The Investment Story
💰 $299K Purchase Price
💵 ~$52K Trailing Revenue
📊 ~17.4% Gross Revenue / Price
🏔️ Panoramic Mountain + Valley Views
🌲 ~4.56 Acres Across Two Parcels
♨️ Hot Tub + Wraparound Deck
🏡 Existing STR Operation
The thesis: acquire a proven mountain STR at roughly 5.75x trailing gross revenue, with a highly marketable chalet aesthetic, panoramic views and more than four acres of land.
💸 Financing + Cost Segregation
At a $299K purchase price with approximately $52K of trailing rental revenue, this could be worth evaluating with lenders that understand vacation-rental properties.
Depending on the borrower, property and lender requirements, potential structures can include DSCR, conventional investment, portfolio and other STR-focused financing options.

🎯 Why This One Stands Out
💵 ~$52K Trailing Revenue
That's approximately a 17.4% gross revenue-to-price ratio at the $299K asking price.
🏔️ A Marketable Guest Experience
Chalet architecture, huge views, a wraparound deck and hot tub give guests a reason to book the property itself.
🌲 4.56 Acres + Two Parcels
The additional raw-land parcel provides more privacy and helps protect the mountain views.
🔑 Existing Operation
The current property manager and cleaner can potentially remain in place for a smoother transition.
⚡ Bottom Line
$299K. ~$52K Revenue. ~17.4% Gross Yield. 4.56 Acres. Panoramic Views.
For investors looking at the lower end of the STR acquisition spectrum, there's a lot to like here.
You're getting a proven mountain rental at roughly 5.75x trailing gross revenue, with the chalet aesthetic, hot tub, acreage and views already creating a compelling guest experience.
One operational factor to account for is the property's water cistern system. Under heavy rental use, the seller reports roughly 1–2 deliveries per month at approximately $259 each, and those costs are already reflected in the provided rental financials. Owners can also use the free community water fill point if they prefer to haul water themselves.
At $299K, the combination of existing revenue + low acquisition basis + a differentiated mountain setting makes this one worth a closer look.
