About This Property

A rare opportunity to own a distinctive mountain retreat in the cherished Bee Tree community, offering approximately 10 acres of privacy, history, and modern self-sufficiency. This unique property features two residences, established gardens, greenhouse, water features, and multiple energy sources — ideal for full-time living, multigenerational use, or retreat-style ownership. The main home, “Bee Haven,” offers open-concept living with vaulted ceilings, a stone fireplace, and a well-appointed kitchen. The primary suite includes a Jacuzzi tub, private deck, and peaceful wooded views, along with two guest bedrooms and a private-entry apartment. An additional approximately 1,250 sq ft of basement living space provides flexible use for guests, office, or studio (not contiguous with the main level). The historic circa-1907 “Wood Bee Home” showcases original woodwork, beadboard ceilings, and wraparound porches, creating timeless character and inviting outdoor living spaces. Designed for reliability and independence, the property includes backup solar power, hydroelectric power, gas heat, and Starlink internet, supporting modern connectivity and year-round comfort. A reconstructed functional spring house provides natural cold storage for perishables. The grounds feature a natural waterfall, three ponds, Bee Tree Creek frontage, a barn with power and solar panels, raised garden beds, and whimsical English-style gardens, creating a serene and productive landscape. Offered separately or in combination with the adjoining larger acreage, this property delivers a rare blend of historic charm, sustainable infrastructure, and mountain lifestyle in a highly sought-after location.
