Guests enjoy nearly 15 hours of summer daylight for hiking glacial gorges or spotting wild horses and bighorn sheep. After dark, the region offers some of the most spectacular stargazing in the country under true dark skies. In addition to the 15.79+/- acre resort, the owners are also willing to part ways with their 2,996-square-foot custom residence that is a 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom setup situated on its own private 1 acre tax lot. The home was built in 1998 and would make an exceptional spot as an Airbnb, house employees, or be continued to be utilized as a primary residence as it currently is. The Sellers are willing to combine the two acreages for $1,800,000 for any interested buyers.
