Step back in time as you travel through a unique town filled with historical landmarks. Here you will find a peaceful, secluded cabin—tucked away from the hustle and bustle of life, alive with nature, and as unique as the town itself. As we drove past the great rocks that project out of the earth like chimneys, we began our 1.3-mile journey to the cabin. Upon arrival, we stepped out of the Jeep and were greeted by the incredible sound of elk bugling in the distance, followed by another joining in. If you have read the book * The Shack * , this property is exactly what I pictured—a truly magical site where you can feel deeply connected to nature. The cabin is incredibly special, situated directly over two springs that create a serene waterfall right off the porch. Inside, the upstairs bedroom features beautiful stained glass that filters the sunlight, providing a perfect view of the custom-built fireplace from the bed. It is an absolute dream for families who love adventure, whether that means extreme four-wheeling or taking in the views by helicopter. There is an area for landing just east of the barn for livestock, a chicken coop, a modern water well, a firewood strorage bulding
If you are looking for truly off-grid property with limited road access and flowing water, this property is for you! The roads are accessible only by 4-wheel drive vehicles and will limit unwanted activity providing excellent privacy. Enjoy good hunting for deer, turkey and bear that are attracted to the mature timber and the creek that flows through the property. It is a short drive to Shirley that is only 7 +/-miles away and Fairfield Bay is 13 +/- miles. No Legal access.
