Description

Nestled in the tall evergreens near the Cache National Forest, Whispering Pines Lodge is a picturesque mountain retreat or year-round residence with investment opportunities conveniently located between Bear Lake and Lava Hot Springs. The quaint five-bedroom three bath log cabin is well-maintained and sits on seven- and three-quarter wooded acres with a detached garage and greenhouse and three adjacent parcels providing additional privacy and plenty of room to explore or develop. Soda Springs is a short drive away to enjoy hidden treasures such as Applegarth Apothecary Gift Shop and the beautiful and historic Enders Hotel, Museum and Steakhouse with the famous captive geyser just out back and Natural Soda Springs in the Octagon Pavilion all within walking distance. With year-round paved road access, the terrain offers endless exploration both on and off the property. For the adventurous at heart, a zipline awaits on the north end of the property, in Bailey Creek Estates. If fishing catches your fancy, grab your rod and reel and fish the private pond and year-round Bailey Creek for small wild fish. That is, if you get there before the blue heron catches his lunch. Set up camp by the fire pit in your own backyard or trek through thousands of acres of national forest. Bailey Creek Springs Trailhead is within walking distance from the cabin. It is a beautiful hike to the spring. This is an outdoor recreation enthusiast's paradise with miles of dirt roads and trails to explore backpacking, mountain biking, cruising in ATV's, big game and upland game hunting and, in the winter months, snowmobiling, cross country skiing and snowshoeing. Float, fish or swim along the nearby Bear River and Blackfoot and Alexander Reservoirs and return to warm up by the campfire or enjoy wildlife viewing from the privacy of the wrap around deck. Relax to the gentle sounds of the whispering pines and aspen leaves rustling in the breeze and the babbling brook as it gingerly meanders through the property. Relish in the fresh air and mountain views from the two separate balconies of the upstairs bedroom suite. The natural light streaming in through the many expansive cabin windows creates a welcoming glow against the warm wood beams. Enjoy views as far as the eye can see. In the fall, the lush evergreen carpeted mountainside view is particularly vibrant against the golden leaves and white trunks of the aspens and other deciduous trees. The year-round creek and natural vegetation provide shelter and habitat for wildlife such as mule deer, moose, elk, turkeys, rabbits, blue heron, sandhill crane, sage grouse and many other bird species which frequent the property. A beautiful turnkey mountain property like this won't last long, call Dave and Ann White to schedule your tour before it's gone. - Private fishing pond and year-round creek with small wild fish - Level to moderate slope terrain with towering evergreens and aspens - Near Cache National Forest - Four Contiguous parcels with year-round paved road access allow for additional homesites or for parcels to be sold off in the future - Two separate level, buildable half acre parcels with road frontage are part of an HOA - HOA facilities: Club house, swimming pool, tennis courts, barn and arena for hosting professional rodeos.
