About this home

Escape to this magnificent 21-acre private property, perfectly secured by the surrounding mountainside to ensure unparalleled seclusion and tranquility. The property features approximately 3 cleared acres of gently rolling terrain, providing an ideal, scenic setting for a luxury home or rustic cabin. All essential infrastructure is already in place, making this parcel ready for construction: a durable **cement pad** awaits your custom-designed residence, and both a **septic system** and a **private well** have been installed. Adding to the land's unique charm and utility, it boasts a pre-existing outdoor amenity: a brick chimney used for cooking. This is more than just land; it is a ready-made foundation for your private mountain sanctuary.
