Remarkable multi-dwelling homestead w/multiple outbuildings on 60 pristine acres with LONG RANGE MOUNTAIN views from the "Balcony of Heaven (see the VIDEO!) And backed up to USFS lands! Privacy Abounds! NO Expense was spared to make this beautiful Home & Cabin safe, secure & private with seemingly endless amenities. The Main Home 3br/3.5 bath is built very strong, energy efficient, and easy to maintain. A new roof was recently installed in 8/2024. The double car garage entrance has a single extra wide 17' heavily insulated door with remote opener. Floor trusses were used to eliminate the need for metal support posts in the basement/garage. The porch above the garage/basement entrance uses a full length steel "I" beam. This eliminated the need for vertical support posts which would obstruct the garage entrance. The exterior walls are of 2x6 construction and are fully insulated. The garage has 18 electrical outlets including a special freezer outlet, without a ground fault circuit, to prevent inadvertent power loss to the freezer. Pre-emptive RADON SYSTEM installed under the full basement floor, PVC piping to capture any possible radon gas and vent it directly outside. A small suction fan pulls a slight vacuum under the slab to capture and remove any radon gas occurrence! The house has a specifically ordered Square D brand 200 amp electrical box with added lightning protection. There are DUAL ZONE separate up and downstairs heat and AC units. Both have plenty of capacity to provide comfort regardless of outside temperatures. Propane is supplied by an owned 1000 gallon underground propane tank (up to a 2 year supply) The spring above the main house has a 1200 gallon tank and supplies gravity feed water of approximately 70psi. Valves allow for water to be used from one or both of the springs. Water is filtered and runs through a ultra-violet purification system. No chlorine, no chemical taste just pure mountain spring water. As part of the water system there are seven water hydrants (freeze resistant faucets) conveniently located about the property. A comprehensive, hard wired security system is installed, it's extremely reliable and monitored by a central security station. The area now also has an Ubiquiti 24/7 video surveillance system with AI. Starlink provides, internet, television and telephone communication. On the property is a three sided metal building with water and power that houses a travel trailer. There is an additional two bedroom one bath CABIN/COTTAGE that has been well maintained and has a new central heat and air conditioning system. It has satellite internet, TV and WIFI telephone. And an auxiliary gas wall heater with an owned 500 gallon propane tank ensures you are TEMPERATELY GOOD in any weather event. AMAZING LONG RANGE MTN VIEWS! The second spring near the cabin has a spring tank and pump. This spring is operational but not used because the gravity spring above the main house supplies an abundance of water. The cabin spring water is filtered, and purity is assured by the installation of a ultra-violet purification system. No chemical taste just pure mountain water. Beyond the cabin/cottage is a lane that leads up to an enclosed storage building with a garage door and two additional covered bays for vehicles, implements etc. Between the main home & cabin is a large POWERED outbuilding garage/workshop. It is built out of concrete block. The exterior is covered with foam insulating board and vinyl siding. It is a secure building with insulated attic storage, electricity, alarm system, commercial steel doors and an insulated double car overhead garage door. It also contains an office. Assuredly, this is one of the best "Thought Out" and planned property in all of Macon County! It has everything for the discerning buyer!
