Ford Bidwell offers ‘beauty and adventure in a tranquil environment’

A paved airstrip sits roughly 20 miles away, and the nearby town provides a spot to pick up supplies before hunkering down in luxury all your own.

Dive into the water from decks attached to lakeside cabins, or shove off in a canoe, kayak or paddleboard.

A freshly crafted shoreline spans part of one lake, while the estate’s barn creates potential for equestrian activities and raising livestock.

Each of the four cabins — as well as the attached workshop and garage — enjoy essentials like electricity, heat and plumbing.

A series of connected picture windows in one lakeside cabin creates a wall of glass overlooking the water.

Perched at more than a mile above sea level (5,500 feet, to be exact) the estate is surrounded by a logging forest.

Roads once used to haul away lumber now exist as hiking trails winding about the collage of white fir, aspens, ponderosa pines and white fir trees.

[...] the property still resides in a timber production zone, enabling special tax benefits for the incoming owner.

Opportunities abound for hunters, anglers, equestrians, and outdoor enthusiasts at this virtually self-sufficient estate.
