Step outside onto the expansive wraparound covered porch and enjoy the sights and sounds of bold Fletcher Creek a stocked trout stream flowing through the property. The acreage offers endless possibilities for hunting, trout fishing, hobby farming, horseback riding, ATV adventures, gardening, or simply creating a private mountain estate surrounded by nature.
