Description

Tucked well beyond the noise of the modern world, behind a locked gate where the road narrows & the land begins to breathe, this remarkable 58+ acre offering invites you into a life defined by independence, quiet, & possibility. Spread across three separate, individually buildable parcels, the property unfolds w/ a rare kind of versatility—whether you envision a private off-grid homestead, a multi-generational family retreat, or a long-term investment w/ the option to develop or sell each parcel on its own. The terrain tells a story of the land itself, shifting from open, sun-soaked hillside to rolling hills & into pockets of dark, whispering timber. Towering pines stand watch over the property, offering shade, privacy, & a timeless backdrop, while expansive views stretch in multiple directions, creating a sense of space & freedom that is increasingly hard to find. With the possibility of unobstructed southern exposure, the solar potential here is exceptional, making it an ideal setting for those seeking a truly self-sufficient lifestyle powered by renewable energy. Wildlife moves freely through the area, thanks in part to the large neighboring ranch. Elk, deer, & other native furry friends are frequent visitors, adding to the sense that this land remains largely untouched. The presence of a creek & the potential for natural springs further enhance the property’s self-reliant appeal, offering valuable water resources for both wildlife & future homesteading needs. A dry cabin shell or storage shed already sits on the land, a simple structure w/ the beginnings of a bigger vision—ready to be repurposed, expanded, or used as a basecamp while you bring your plans to life. Access to the driveway is maintained w/ a modest annual road fee of $125 per parcel for summer upkeep, while winter access is supported by local residents, preserving the balance between seclusion & practicality, though you will still enjoy the independence of managing your own driveway. This is more than just acreage—it is an opportunity to create something lasting. A place where mornings begin w/ crisp mountain air, where the only traffic is wildlife passing through, & where your vision of a simpler, more self-reliant life can take root & grow.
