Property Description
The 2-bedroom, 1-bath home has had recent renovations and just needs a few finishing touches to become your true mountain getaway. It sits along Dry Creek, a beautiful year-round stream that adds both charm and function to the property. For added peace of mind, the home is equipped with a Generac whole-house generator, ensuring reliable power year-round.
A well-established trail crosses the creek and leads into the mountain portion of the land, opening up a world of opportunity. As you gain elevation, you'll find natural saddles and open areas--ideal locations for food plots, deer stands, or additional cabin sites. About halfway up the mountain, a partially constructed rustic cabin awaits your vision--perfect for those looking to complete a unique project and create something special.
The property is rich with mature hardwoods and abundant wildlife, including deer, turkey, and bear, making it a true haven for hunters and outdoor enthusiasts. Elevations range from approximately 1,360 feet along the creek to over 2,000 feet at the top, offering scenic views and diverse terrain throughout.
Several old barns remain on the property, offering opportunities for restoration or reclaiming beautiful aged wood for future projects--adding even more character and value.
