This unique opportunity to buy 70 plus acres of paradise! Boasting three streams, 3800 FT elevation at the highest peak, adjoining a large US Forest service track. Relax and unwind sitting on your front porch listening to the near by rushing creek. Travel back in time to the 1920s in your fully remodeled farmhouse. The farmhouse features a three-sided covered porch with a large stone fireplace. Inside includes hardwood floors, commercial, cook stove and gas log fireplace. There is a barn dominium on the property that could be converted into an incredible home. It has great potential and could have several bedrooms, large living, dining and workout area. There is also a 1920s Chestnut bunkhouse on the property that has been redone beautifully while maintaining the authenticity of it. This property would be perfect for a resort retreat, vacation rental or permanent living. There is an additional 5 bedroom septic permit for a proposed house site on property (valid until 2023).
