Tucked at the end of a quiet country road, surrounded by towering pines and rugged rock outcroppings, this one-of-a-kind property is a true sanctuary for creatives, hobbyists, or home-based entrepreneurs. Free from covenants or restrictions, it invites you to live, work, and create on your own terms. Steeped in Old West charm, the home features classic log siding, warm pine cabinetry, and honey-toned tongue-and-groove and log accents throughout the interior. A welcoming covered porch sets the tone for the property's cozy, frontier-inspired ambiance. Multiple outbuildings add character and functionality, including a chicken coop, two carports, several sheds, and a larger structure that could easily be converted back into a garage. The garage-turned-workshop offers generous space for hands-on projects, and a walk-in freezer—formerly used for hide processing at the seller’s trading post—adds a rare, authentic Western touch. There’s even a nostalgic outhouse! Set within a private, park-like landscape, this property feels like a world away—yet it’s just minutes from town. Whether you're seeking peace, inspiration, or the perfect space to pursue your passions, this property is a rare opportunity to own a slice of the past while shaping your future.
