Summit Serenity: The Wilderness Estate Perched high on a secluded peak, commanding views that stretch to the distant horizon, lies this magnificent mountaintop estate, a sanctuary of rustic luxury and untamed natural beauty. The centerpiece is an awe-inspiring large lodge style home, a masterpiece of craftsmanship and design that seamlessly blends with its dramatic, forested surroundings. This is more than just a home; it's a private kingdom built for those who seek the quiet solitude of the wilderness without sacrificing modern comfort and robust amenity. The journey to the estate is an ascent, and once you arrive, the scale of the home is immediately apparent.
The home's exterior boasts a classic, frontier aesthetic with deep, sheltering eaves and expansive decking that wraps around the structure, inviting panoramic observation. The exterior of the house and garage is Diamond Kote, engineered wood siding.
Adjacent to the main residence is a substantial three-car garage. More than just vehicle storage, this structure is designed to house the equipment essential for estate life, ATVs, snowmobiles, and maintenance gear. Built with the same log construction as the main house, it maintains the property's cohesive rustic charm. A dedicated workshop area within offers space for projects and storage for hunting gear, fishing tackle, and outdoor provisions, ensuring all necessities are at hand for immediate adventure.
Stepping inside the home is like entering a grand, yet intimate, lodge. Soaring cathedral ceilings, supported by impressive beams, crown the great room, which is anchored by a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace- the heart of the home. Massive windows frame the spectacular views, bathing the open-plan living and dining areas in natural light. The interior finishes showcase the finest in rustic elegance: wide-plank engineered wood flooring, custom accents, and an expansive kitchen/dining area perfect for casual time with family and friends.
The home's layout is designed for both entertaining and private repose. The main level hosts the primary suite, a luxurious retreat which opens to a deck and hot tub under the stars. The spa-like first floor bathroom features a stacked stone walk in rain shower. Guest suites are strategically placed for privacy on the second floor with a shared bath and small gathering room. Every detail, from the live edge stairs to the custom light fixtures, contributes to an atmosphere of timeless, rugged sophistication.
The true magic of this estate extends far beyond the structure itself, encompassing a hundred+ acres of expertly managed wilderness. Water is a defining feature, with three distinct ponds dotted across the landscape.
This vast, private domain is a haven for the outdoor enthusiast. An extensive network of meticulously maintained trails winds through the property's diverse terrain, offering endless opportunities for hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, and fishing. These trails connect the main house to the ponds and lead to high-ground vantage points, ensuring every corner of the estate can be explored.
The acreage itself is a prime location for hunting. Strategically placed blinds and feeders, combined with the property's varied topography of dense timber and open meadows, offer a world-class hunting experience right outside your door.
Above all, the defining characteristic of this mountain retreat is its absolute and profound privacy. Tucked behind miles of buffered woodland, the estate is an impenetrable fortress of solitude. There are no nearby neighbors, no traffic sounds- only the whisper of the wind through the pines and the distant call of an owl. This property doesn't just offer an escape; it offers a total disconnection from the world, providing a rare and coveted space where the grandeur of nature meets the ultimate in secluded, high-country living. It is a legacy property, a place to create memories against an epic, unspoiled backdrop.
