About this property
Wild Acres Yurt on 36 acres bordering 800 acres of perserve with a 300 acre pond
This 20' yurt sits in a private location on our 36 acre hobby farm. We border the 800 acre Kelly Wildlife Sanctuary with trails and a 300 acre pond.
The yurt has power, cold running water, A/C, induction cook top, freezer fridge, microwave, coffee maker, cookware, dishes, glasses, cutlery and silverware.
It contains a queen sized bed, full sized futon, air mattress, table/chairs, and a wood stove.
There is an enclosed private outdoor shower and the restroom is an outdoor port-o-potty.
There is a fire pit with seating.
Hot water can be heated on the cook top or small hot water heater. There is no indoor bathroom and the shower is outdoors.
There is a small outside deck and and an outdoor fire pit with seating. There are some mowed walking trails on the property and we border the 800 acre Earl Kelly Wildlife Preserve with a 300 acre pond and hiking trails.
We have goats and chickens which can be visited by guests by permission.
We allow dogs but no aggressive breeds. All dogs must be approved ahead of time. Doggy daycare is available at our discretion.
Guest can walk the 36 acres property and the adjacent 800 acres wildlife preserve.
The yurt has its own private driveway and is in a private setting. Sounds from our animals and children may be heard from time to time while staying at the yurt. If walking the property you may see goat fencing in some areas. Please assume all fencing is electrified.
We have a trail system that we mow but in wet seasons we can not mow all areas. The main trails leads right onto the Kelly Wildlife Preserve. It is a 15 to 20 min hike to the back side of the 300 acre Bog Pond where eagles soar and wildlife abounds. (If you are luck you just might see a moose..)
You can paddle in from an inlet just down the road (1 beaver dam to portage) and on most days have amazing pond all to yourself. No kidding.
The fishing is very good.
