About This Home

This treasured adult foster care home has been owned and operated by the same family that passionately founded it 40 years ago. They are now ready to transition ownership and are seeking the right successor to carry forward the exceptional standard of care and commitment that has defined the business for decades. Built on a legacy of compassionate, personalized care, Timberline Lodge has earned the trust of generations of families and enjoys a strong reputation in a highly sought-after setting. This custom stick-built Bavarian ranch offers an impressive 4,536 square feet of living space and is secluded on 9.39 wooded acres, providing stunning nature views from every angle. Outside, practicality meets convenience. A completed asphalt driveway leads to the home, complemented by a spacious 2,160-square-foot pole barn and multiple garden sheds, providing exceptional storage and workspace options throughout the property. The property offers 10 bedrooms and is licensed for up to 12 residents, with 2 additional rooms that can serve as offices or administrative space. It also includes 4 full bathrooms, 6 half bathrooms, and a finished walk-out basement that offers flexibility for additional office space or a separate living area. Attached to the back of the home, a 375-square-foot deck offers residents and staff a welcoming outdoor retreat to relax, gather, and enjoy the serenity of the wooded setting. To ensure year-round comfort and reliability, the property's mechanical systems have been thoughtfully designed and meticulously maintained. The home is served by two septic tanks and drain fields, with one located east of the residence and the other to the west. The primary heating and cooling system consist of a geothermal water-source heat pump that operates both the east and west furnace systems. For added efficiency and peace of mind, a backup boiler system is also in place to provide supplemental heating when needed. In the event of a power outage, a diesel-fueled whole-house generator provides backup power to the entire residence, while a dedicated Generac generator maintains operation of the fire suppression system, fire alarm system, and water wells. Exceptional business opportunities in such a peaceful, private, and well-established setting rarely come to market. This remarkable property reflects more than 40 years of thoughtful planning, dedicated stewardship, and strategic investment.
