This property and lodge will provide the new owner a unique opportunity in many ways, it will be the perfect fit for the perfect buyer!When you come through the gated entrance on this vast property, your spirit is quickly captured by the amazing beauty. It's truly like traveling back in time. The diverse habitat of trees, wetlands, open meadows, and water features, which include native trout streams, allow you to understand that this property has no equal. There is an extensive and continually maintained internal road system that can be traveled easily with whatever form of transportation you choose and allows for access to ALL parts of the property. A conservation easement exists on the property but that's simply to maintain the integrity of the wetlands and streams, and it allows for four additional advantageous building sites. A scenic and stocked pond fed by the mountain spring lays just steps away from the front porch of the lodge. A considerable amount of the property is bordered by the National Forest, which ensures the subject property's integrity while providing thousands of additional recreational acres. The Grand Lodge is very spacious, and its placement and accents truly embrace the landscape. The front porch is covered and runs the entire length of the lodge, which is perfect for relaxing with family and friends. The lay of the property is also remarkably beneficial as it lays very foot and recreationally friendly throughout. Hunting has been a staple on this property as there has been an extremely well-organized hunting lease in place for over 60 years, which will convey with the purchase. The members of this lease continually maintain the property on a weekly basis, and whoever decides to purchase this property would more than likely only use this as a vacation/ recreational outlet and not a full-time residency. Therefore, the hunting lease would serve the purpose of knowing that the property and lodge are ALWAYS in mint condition when the new owners decide to visit. This a true "Peace of Mind" piece of property!!
