This breathtaking property is something out of a fairy tale. Tucked away on 68 private, forested acres at the edge of a mountain clearing lies Dakota Bear Lodge. The palatial timber frame home features soaring ceilings, high-end finishes and commanding, 180 degree south westerly views of Kezar Pond and the White Mountains that must be seen to be believed. The lodge was built to the highest of specifications. The main structure features an open floor plan with gourmet kitchen, fieldstone fireplace, 800 sq ft of covered and open decks, and a primary suite with jacuzzi tub and walk-in closet.

Sliding glass doors bring inhabitants out to the patio and firepit overlooking the sweeping vista below. Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms with walk-in closets await. Beyond the lodge, a two-story breezeway leads to a separate spacious apartment and a two-level garage with Spancrete floors, wet sprinkler system, and five doors. Enjoy peace of mind with buried fuel tanks and power lines, a whole-house generator, and energy- efficient features like structural insulated panels, half log siding and high-efficiency windows.
