Nestled atop a scenic hill and surrounded by 17 breathtaking acres, this exceptional ranch-style home with a walkout basement offers complete privacy, abundant wildlife, and frontage on renowned Bear Creek—a Class I trout stream that winds through the property before flowing into the Tomorrow River.
