Description

Horse property in Polk County perched on 25 acres combining 2 fenced-in pastures with plenty of space to expand, this custom retreat is built for people who live outside. A private, half-mile winding drive leads past a 60′ x 40′ workshop with a wonderful apartment for visiting family, friends or Short Term Rentals, before continuing on to the main house with long range mountain views. – Your perfect base camp after a day in the saddle or hiking on the trails.
