Perched high on 25 wooded acres with cleared pasture, this custom retreat is built for people who live outside. A private half-mile winding drive leads past a 60' x 40' workshop with efficiency apartment before continuing to the main house with sunset views. - Your perfect base camp after a day in the saddle or on the trails.
Step inside and you’re greeted by open ceilings lined with pine tongue-and-groove boards, hand-hewn oak beams, and an artful wood stove surround. The open floor plan invites gatherings, while the main-level primary suite offers a walk in shower and new countertops and sinks. Every detail, from boot-friendly entrances to gear-ready storage, is designed for life lived in muddy boots and trail dust. Year-round and winter mountain views frame the backdrop.
