Tucked into nearly 50 acres of diverse, adventure-ready land, this property offers far more than just a place to live--it's an invitation to slow down and enjoy the outdoors. With a private stream winding through the landscape, direct access to Ball Pond, and established quad trails weaving across the acreage, the setting lends itself to simple, everyday exploration and quiet enjoyment. Whether you're casting a line at sunrise, walking the woods, or just taking in the natural surroundings, there's a steady, unassuming charm to the land--along with scenic views of Elk Mountain in the distance. Located just 9.1 miles from Elk Mountain, the property offers a nice balance of privacy and convenience, making it well-suited for hunting, fishing, and year-round recreation. Oil, gas, and mineral rights will convey to the buyer, adding an extra layer of long-term value. A modest 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage with a woodstove provides a comfortable place to stay, though it's really the land that stands out here. For those looking for space, versatility, and a more grounded connection to the outdoors, this property offers a lot to appreciate.
