Some places invite you to visit. Others invite you to wander. For years, this remarkable mountain property has been a place where quiet trails led to hidden discoveries, a gentle branch welcomed you home, and every path seemed to end at another peaceful place to stop, sit & simply take in the beauty of the woods. Set on 103+/- acres, this one-of-a-kind retreat offers far more than a home. It offers a lifestyle rooted in nature, exploration, and quiet moments. The thoughtfully maintained trail system winds through the property, leading to a peaceful pond, a cascading branch, scenic resting places, and perhaps its most unforgettable feature-a handcrafted woodland chapel that has hosted weddings, celebrations & moments of reflection. Today it could become an art studio, gathering place, creative retreat or simply a quiet sanctuary in the forest. The comfortable 3BR 2BA home features warm wood finishes, a vaulted living room with wood stove, enclosed sunroom, flexible upper-level living, and a separate lower-level apartment space. A detached three-car garage/workshop, multiple outbuildings & beautifully landscaped grounds complete a property unlike anything else on the market.
