Situated up Ohio Creek Valley along a scenic byway you will find the Rockin 3AR Ranch, a small enclave completely surrounded by larger ranches, most of which have been placed into conservation easements. Previously a historic homestead, the Rockin 3 AR Ranch has been successfully operating as a hunting lodge/cabin rental for over 28 years! The property consists of two custom built, hand-peeled lodgepole pine log residences: a main residence and a guest residence along with a barn, corral & loafing shed on 5 +/- acres. In addition, adjacent to the homestead is a separate 35 acre tract with approximately 200 feet of frontage on Ohio Creek and mountain views in every direction. This tract has been the site of many beautiful weddings with backdrops such as Carbon Peak and the Anthracite Mountain Range. The main home offers a large open/living concept, 2 bedrooms, 2 baths with room to convert about 700 sf of lower area into a master suite or a TV/Game room. There is also a 1-car garage, shop area & potential walk-in freezer on the lower level. The guest residence is a 5-star Home Away 1 bdrm/1 bath log cabin just up the hill from the main home and offers a unique VRBO situation right out your back door!
