This 3-story main house is unique as it is built around the trees and rocks, hidden from view. The main farmstead has a large lounge area leading into an open plan dining room and spacious kitchen.

For those cold winter days there is a wood stove that can be lit with comfortable chairs and a magnificent view of the river and
mountain to see while relaxing.
