ABOUT THE PROPERTY:
Shantideva Temple, situated on 5 acres, sits above a 5000 sq ft debate courtyard that is adjoined by a 3000 sq ft, 3 level, 2 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath private log residence. The logs were hauled down from Vermont and the interior construction is entirely wood, most of which was harvested right here on the land.

Adjoining the Temple property, on 7 acres, is a 2250 sq ft, 3 bedroom, 2 bath modified 30x50 ft barn residence with 24 ft ceilings. The eccentricity of design is reflected in the use of a variety of woods and tiles. Cherry floors and walls, flame maple cabinets, stone platforms and massive white and red pine trees co-mingle with a variety of hard and soft woods throughout this outrageous building. The upper bedroom suite overlooks a 1 acre, 14 ft deep pond area landscaped with a perimeter of tumbled flagstone.

The pond is situated within a 50+ acre parcel that has a 20 ft high natural waterfall. Massive stones, some weighing over 40 tons, were located around the country and transported to construct the 101 ft diameter stone circle that overlooks a cliff. This vantage point affords the opportunity to watch magnificent sunsets.

On the hilltop overlooking the stone circle, is yet another parcel, with a small 300 sq ft log cabin hand carved by Native Americans set upon a stone base and patio. The views are breathtaking.

In its entirety, the property encompasses 100+ acres, tied together by over 2 miles of roads. Presently 7 subdivisions; 2 parcels are residences @ $1,000,000.00 each (one presently occupied by the owner), one parcel has the small cabin @ $750,000.00, three are ready to build on from $500,000.00 each and the 50+ acre parcel with the pond, waterfall, Stone Circle and a myriad of trails are to be deeded for private use to the other 6 parcels and will remain wild forever.

LOCATION:
