Mountain Lodge Post&Beam in Bristol

There aren't too many places that you can feel as though you are in the wilderness with all your creature comforts and still be within 25-30 minutes to the quaint village of Bristol, a place that has everything you need and takes you for a little visit back in time.

The car road to this "Lodge" takes you for a little ride through the middle of an open field over a  beaver pond into a  small meadow to the foot of "Hogsback" mountain just far enough to "get away" and just close enough to feel secure.

Four bedroom Post & Beam at the foot of a mountain containing 93 acres of hiking, relaxing, having an outside campfire or just sitting on the deck listening to the birds and the sounds of the forest.

This recently built Post & Beam with beautiful cherry hardwood floor living space is stunning. Everything you would want in a home and it's all off grid. There is a generator a distance away from the building that only runs occasionally when the inverter system needs more power along with the solar panels on the standing seam roof that are an extra trickle charge for your automatically controlled electrical system. You don't even have to think about it except to feel good about the fact that you are off grid.Cell phones work well here. There is a 32" flat screen TV with Satelite service.
