About this home
Carmel Ridge presents a rare opportunity to own 51.25 acres of exceptional land spanning four expansive parcels. Offering privacy, character, and remarkable natural beauty, this property provides the ideal setting for a private estate, family compound, or generational retreat. Land of this scale and quality is increasingly difficult to find. With its peaceful surroundings and enchanting landscape, Carmel Ridge offers the perfect place to build, unwind, and truly escape the pace of the world. Mature hardwoods stretch across the property, while a year-round flowing creek winds gently through the landscape. Wildlife is abundant, and the quiet natural setting creates the kind of privacy that is increasingly rare to find. With selective clearing, elevated areas of the land could reveal remarkable mountain views that change beautifully through the seasons. Whether envisioned as a hunting retreat, full-time residence, second home, or homestead, the acreage provides the canvas to create something truly lasting, a place to gather generations, slow down, and enjoy the land for years to come.
