Spanning approximately 125 acres across 7 parcels, the property presents a rare blend of legacy, privacy, and future potential. Included is the Rustic Lodge, rich with character and mountain charm, along with a prime homesite, off Pine Point Rd.

Built from rare old-growth American Chestnut, the lodge showcases exceptional craftsmanship, warmth, and architectural details seldom found today. The dramatic main living area features vaulted ceilings with skylights, exposed log and chinking walls, and an impressive floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace that anchors the space with rustic elegance.
