Description

THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED - AND THAT'S THE POINT. If easy paved-road access is at the top of your mountain-home wish list, this isn't the property for you. But if privacy, sweeping year-round mountain views, U.S. Forest Service frontage, relaxing silence, and a true escape from the ordinary are what you're looking for, keep reading. Tucked away on 3.01 acres at the end of a private gravel mountain road and bordering the U.S. Forest Service land, this extraordinary 4BR/4.5BA lodge offers the kind of privacy and setting that is increasingly difficult to find. Four-wheel/all wheel drive vehicles make easy work of the gravel road leading to this amazing property. For the right buyer, that rugged approach is part of what makes this property special. Inside, the lodge delivers 3,617 square feet of beautifully crafted mountain living, with high ceilings sporting wooden beams, a massive stone fireplace, dramatic great room featuring a stunning iron chandelier, granite kitchen and two levels of expansive covered porches overlooking a view you must see to believe. The main-level primary suite captures the view through french doors leading to a serene outdoor sitting area. Two additional ensuite bedrooms connected by an open bridge overlooking the great room occupy the upper level. A fourth ensuite bedroom plus game room, wet bar and hot tub are found on the terrace level. The lower level opens into a large two-car basement garage with work bench, sink and plenty of storage. The paved driveway comes to an end in a level area under the port cochere providing covered direct access to the front door and room for additional parking in the gravel area just beyond. Additional features include a whole house generator and a private well. This mountain retreat is perfect for family getaways, girls' weekends, as a private hunting lodge or as a luxury vacation-rental opportunity. There is no homeowners association, no HOA fees. Surrounded by nature and a handful of other secluded million-dollar retreats, the property offers that rare feeling of being completely away from it all while still knowing you're not entirely on your own. It's the best of both worlds: alone, but not alone.
