53-Acre Private Luxury Estate with Custom Log Home, Stocked Pond & Panoramic Views Step into a world where elegance meets nature on this unmatched 53-acre estate. Privately tucked away yet offering convenient access to nearby amenities, this property is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle, a retreat, and an investment in tranquility. From the moment you enter the winding driveway and catch sight of the sprawling log home framed by rolling hills and mature trees, you’ll know you’ve found something rare. The centerpiece of this estate is a custom-built log home that blends rustic charm with refined sophistication. Inside, 5 spacious bedrooms and 5 full bathrooms provide comfort and privacy for family and guests alike. Vaulted ceilings, rich wood beams, and expansive windows frame breathtaking views in every direction, bringing the outdoors in. The walk-out lower level expands your living and entertaining space with a full second kitchen, a handcrafted bar, a private guest suite. Outdoors, you’ll find your own personal sanctuary. A shimmering private 3 acre pond—complete with dock and stocked for fishing—sits at the center of the landscape, inviting you to start your mornings with coffee by the water or end your evenings watching the sun dance across the surface. Miles of open and wooded terrain offer endless opportunities for walking, horseback riding, or ATV adventures. For the hobbyist, entrepreneur, or collector, two massive connected shops—one 60x42 ft and the other 50x24 ft—provide all the space you need for equipment, projects, or a prized vehicle collection. Both are on concrete and easily accessible from the home. Every inch of this property was designed with intention—balancing beauty, function, and privacy. Whether you dream of hosting unforgettable gatherings, creating a working ranch, or simply enjoying the peace of nature. This is more than a home. It’s where luxury meets freedom, and where every day feels like a getaway.

AG-1
Agricultural District
The AG-1 District is intended to accommodate a full range of agricultural activities such as the raising of crops or livestock as well as the processing and sale of agricultural products raised on the premises and, at the same time, to offer protection to agricultural land and land uses. Maintaining an inventory of productive, or potentially productive, agricultural land is a principal goal within the unincorporated portion of the county. The district is also intended to provide protection for watersheds and water supplies, forest areas, and scenic areas; to promote the conservation of fish and wildlife; and to prevent the untimely scattering of more dense urban development. The standards of the AG-1 District are designed to permit limited development that is compatible with the existing rural character and agricultural land uses.
