Property Description
Tucked away at the top of the mountain where country roads wind through the trees and the air feels a little cleaner and cooler, this extraordinary 6.51-acre estate offers something increasingly rare - a property with soul. Rich with history, charm, and timeless mountain character, this is the kind of place where stories are shared around the fire, generations gather for holidays, and weekends somehow turn into lifelong traditions. The estate features a beautifully aged main cabin and a separate guest cottage, offering a combined total of 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. Every corner reflects warmth and authenticity, with inviting spaces designed for connection, comfort, and quiet retreat. Inside and out, the home embraces mountain living at its finest. Two real masonry fireplaces create unforgettable gathering spaces - including a stunning outdoor fireplace anchoring the expansive covered porch, perfect for cool evenings, morning coffee, or entertaining under the stars. The guest cottage is more than just extra space - complete with its own full second kitchen and a wonderful outdoor shower, it provides exceptional flexibility for guests, multi-generational living, or private retreats with a true connection to the outdoors. Surrounded by total privacy, the property boasts an incredible 1,072 feet of U.S. Forestry Service frontage, directly bordering tens of thousands of acres of protected wilderness. With hiking trails nearby connecting to the legendary Benton MacKaye Trail, the opportunities for hiking, exploring, and reconnecting with nature are truly unmatched. The grounds are equally magical, with thoughtfully cultivated gardens delivering beauty and color throughout every season. Covered parking adds convenience, while the setting itself feels worlds away from the ordinary. This is not a cookie-cutter mountain cabin. It is distinctive, authentic, and incredibly unique in the very best way possible - a hidden mountain sanctuary built for gathering and exploring.
