## Description

### Agent Description
Discover your very own mountain homestead on this remarkable 80+ acre mini-farm, complete with extensive upgraded fencing, and a beautiful stream winding through the property. Whether you're dreaming of raising livestock, growing your own food, or simply enjoying unmatched privacy, this land is ready to fulfill it. A classic metal barn and miles of established walking trails make the acreage as functional as it is scenic. At the heart of the property sits a stunning 4,000+ sq ft residence, crafted with meticulous architectural detail--soaring ceilings, elegant transoms, a dramatic helical staircase, and a striking stone gas-log fireplace that anchors the great room. The main-level primary suite offers direct access to the open deck and features a spa-caliber bathroom complete with a huge walk-in shower, jacuzzi tub, and generous walk-in closet. Upstairs, two oversized bedrooms share an expansive Jack and Jill bathroom, each with private access. The partially finished basement adds flexibility, including an additional room, full bathroom, a charming ''wine cellar/storage room,'' plus unfinished storage that connects directly to the double garage. Outside, a fenced yard keeps pets safe, while the home's energy-efficient systems, along with a whole house generator, keep comfort and sustainability in harmony. A tractor, side by side, and other farm equipment are also included, making this farm turn-key. This rare offering blends luxury living with farm-ready functionality--the perfect place to live out your homestead or farming dreams.
