Escape to your own private retreat just 14 miles east of Joseph. Nestled on 21 scenic acres with breathtaking mountain and valley views, this 2,240 sq.ft. log home built in 1985 offers the perfect blend of comfort, history, and outdoor living. The property features a mix of gently sloping pasture and mature timber, a year-round creek, two seasonal ponds, one large pond approved for fish and bird habitat, and abundant opportunities to enjoy nature right outside your door—including morel mushroom hunting and frequent wildlife sightings. The farmhouse-style kitchen has granite countertops and a breakfast bar, and opens to the living room, where a cozy Vermont soapstone wood stove sits on a striking rock hearth. The home offers three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, plus a bonus room in the full basement. The main level features a bedroom and a full bathroom, while the upstairs includes the primary suite with an attached half bathroom and a private balcony, along with a second bedroom. The basement includes a laundry room and a full bathroom. A propane furnace installed in 2015 provides additional comfort to the wood stove. Enjoy peaceful mornings on the front deck overlooking year-round McCully Creek or relax on the back porch while listening to birdsong and taking in the surrounding beauty. The pasture is fenced and cross fenced, so set up well for livestock. The property is serviced by a productive 30 GPM private well and a standard septic system. Adding unique character is the shop building, originally the historic Prairie Creek Schoolhouse, which served local students from the 1870s through the 1930s before being relocated to the property. Additional improvements include a cute shed, chicken coop, outbuildings, concrete-floored shop space, and deeded access via a flag-lot driveway. A rare opportunity to own a secluded mountain-view homestead with history, wildlife, water features, and room to roam.
