    About this House

    A truly extraordinary and rare opportunity - 18.92 breathtaking acres, almost entirely surrounded by United States Forest Service land, offering unparalleled privacy and natural beauty. This remarkable property boasts cleared pastureland, interior roads, gently rolling wooded areas, and picnic pavilion with captivating views to the south and west.

    Access is UNIQUELY PRIVATE, as the USFS road access is exclusively to USFS tract and this parcel. A pristine stream runs almost the full length of the property, featuring multiple waterfalls and ideal locations for trails, gazebos, or serene overlooks by the water. Electricity is already on-site, previously servicing an old home, with easy availability to support multiple potential homesites. This property is perfect for creating a private retreat or a dream home immersed in nature but less than 3 miles from Main Street. Un-zoned and unrestricted. Deer and turkey abound!

      "There's no Wal-Mart or fast food joints. Life in the mountains has an easier pace. You are removed from the city, but that's why we live here, to get away from it all. There is a world class spa, fine dining on smaller scale, exquisite shops. Think Breckinridge, without the skiing.Beautiful mountains, hiking, mountain biking, floral life, live music, plays, wineries, what more do you want?"
