Tucked into the forest edge, this distinctive 2-bedroom, 1-bath home with an open loft combines rustic character with an inviting open-concept layout. Crafted with sturdy timber frame construction, the main living space is designed for flow and togetherness, creating a warm atmosphere with room to relax, cook, and gather comfortably. Upstairs, the open loft adds flexibility for a second sleeping area, home office, reading nook, or overflow guest space. Outside, the property spans 5+ acres and truly backs up to national forest land, meaning no homes beyond—just protected trees, wildlife corridors, and easy access to trails and the outdoors right from your doorstep. A seasonal creek adds extra natural beauty and the calming sound of moving water across the property during the active months. Nature lovers will appreciate the frequent wildlife activity around the home, with deer, elk, turkey, and even bear and moose sometimes spotted nearby. Whether you’re looking for a full-time retreat, a hunting and outdoor basecamp, or a peaceful escape where you can enjoy the seasons in comfort, this home offers the craftsmanship, privacy, and direct forest adjacency that are so hard to find.
