About This Property

Horse property in Polk County perched on 25 acres combining 2 fenced-in pastures with plenty of space to expand, this custom retreat is built for people who live outside. A private, half-mile winding drive leads past a 60' x 40' workshop with a wonderful apartment for visiting family, friends or Short Term Rentals, before continuing on to the main house with long range mountain views. - Your perfect base camp after a day in the saddle or hiking on the trails.

Step inside and you’re greeted by open ceilings lined with pine tongue-and-groove boards, hand-hewn oak beams, and an artful wood stove surround. The open floor plan invites gatherings, while the main-level primary suite offers a walk in shower with all new countertops and sinks. Every detail, from boot-friendly entrances to gear-ready storage, is designed for life lived in muddy boots and trail dust. Year-round and winter mountain views frame the backdrop.
