But the humble home is merely a stage for those majestic vistas. And the house does capitalize on them with a wrap-around porch and picture windows framing the view from the loft bedroom above the open living area.
And despite its rusticity, it does have some basic comforts, including electric heating, running water courtesy of a nearby well, a washer and dryer, and a septic tank.
