About This Home

Charming rustic mini farm on 4.5 acres now available! Discover the perfect blend of rustic mountain living and self-sufficient homesteading on this unique property. A circular driveway delivers you to the porch of this cozy 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom home that offers tranquility and endless possibilities for those seeking a peaceful lifestyle surrounded by nature.
