Supplements
The main house on the property contains 3,724 square feet and serves as the owner's retreat. It's considered to be of excellent quality and features rustic log construction larger than average diameter logs. Rooms include one large primary bedroom with large bathroom, one small secondary bedroom upstairs with a bathroom, a half bathroom downstairs, a large living room with fireplace, recreation room (billiards room), formal dining area, family room with fireplace, large kitchen and a small loft area upstairs. Other features include a large covered entry, covered balcony, large deck, private courtyard, and a two car garage with large storage/mechanical room. It should be noted that the main house is unique in the fact that its primary usage appears to be entertaining. It contains one primary bedroom, which is unique for a home of this size, and is not well equipped for overnight guests. This is most likely due to the number of secondary homes on the property and planned usage of the entire ranch.
