Virtual Tour
Discover 119 acres of pure mountain magic in Highland County. This historic estate features an authentic dovetailed log cabin blending rustic charm with modern comfort. Inside, you'll find exposed beams, massive stone fireplaces, wormy chestnut woodwork and freshly refinished heart pine floors. The grounds are a true compound, featuring a stone garage and studio, a gazebo with custom stained glass, and a springhouse fed by a mountain spring. The land is a diverse paradise: 14 acres of lush hay meadows, stocked trout ponds, and 100 acres of hardwood forest teeming with wildlife. Take the woods roads to the 3,000-foot summit for breathtaking Jackson River Valley views. The original chestnut and oak, dovetailed log cabin was built in 1834, right beside an incredible mountain spring that the home still uses today. Through the 1970s and 80s the home was modernized and expanded to create a stunning open floorplan complete with a massive stone, double fireplace. 3 bedroom areas and 2 full baths, along with an open great room and kitchen area. The owner during that period also added stone terraces, river rock foundation walls, and an incredible stone garage and studio building. A stone gazebo and springhouse add to the compound's beauty and functionality. Recently, the wide-plank oak and heart pine floors have all been refinished. Both bathrooms and the downstairs bedroom have new Mexican tile installed, with radiant heat in the downstairs floors. New electric baseboard heat installed in 2025. The stone garage and gazebo both feature a prior owner's stained glass artwork. Near the house is a run in shed and large barn, both used in the past for livestock and horses. The bottom portion of the farm has hay meadows with the mountain stream known as Dry Branch intersecting the lowlands. There are 2 spring-fed, stocked trout ponds, one near the house and the larger one up the mountain. The property has large hardwood ridges and hollows with a slate-bottomed mountain stream running down from the upper elevations. At the property's 3,000-foot high point, there are stunning views to the south, down the Jackson River Valley. Deer, grouse, turkey, and bear all call this place home. There are good stands of oak, poplar, hickory, pine, sugar maple, walnut, and locust throughout the farm. Good woods roads system throughout the property. New furnishings in the home are included. This is a timeless investment ready for your finishing touches! The possibilities are endless. Located 15 minutes from beautiful Monterey and 30 minutes from Hot Springs and the Homestead Resort.
