This house needs significant repair, but if you envision owning a stunning equestrian property set on 12.5 acres with inspiring mountain views, or perhaps a picturesque wedding venue, this property offers incredible potential for both! As you enter the long, paved driveway, you'll immediately recognize the unique and grand possibilities this residence holds. The spacious log home features 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms and awaits revitalization to become the mountain estate of your dreams. It includes a convenient 3-car garage connected by a covered breezeway and inviting wrap-around covered porches for enjoying the scenery. Inside, the over 8500 heated square feet encompass three fireplaces, including one in the primary bedroom, providing ample space to create your ideal home. Furthermore, there is a substantial 2000+ square foot horse barn equipped with seven 12x12 stalls (one of which can be converted to a larger birthing stall), a washroom, feed room, tack room, and a bathroom. The barn also features an attic for square bale storage and a fly system. The woods at the back of the property leading to Laurel Creek could be cleared for more pastsure down to the stream. To truly appreciate the potential of this property, a visit is essential to envision its transformation.
