This property is a remote property that lies in a gorge. The property is entirely bounded by cliffs and includes a gorge that is a mile long. Although an old county road runs through the edge of the property, the road is not maintained and this property has 4-wheel drive access only. The highlights of this property are its waterfalls and the huge cavern carved out behind one of the waterfalls. Locally, these caverns are called rock houses as archaeological digs have proven that these shelters were inhabited for thousands of years. There are additional photos of this property on the next page and I can add more pictures of this property if requested. Also, all of these photos are taken in the winter as the leaves are off of the trees and I can get better distance shots. We have tried photos in the summer before and all of the leaves make distance shots difficult. The green that you see in the pictures are hemlock trees and rhododendron. Personally, this property was the most difficult to let go so far. But this property has been purchased from us and is used for training world-class hunting dogs without the risk of disturbing neighbors.
Available for $78,000. Update: SOLD.
Above is a picture taken from behind one of this property's waterfalls. To the left of this picture is the canyon floor. To the right is an indian "rock house'. It is in the shape of a half dome. We estmate the half dome to be 70 feet deep, 120 feet across and about 40 feet high. It reminds me of an outside pavilion that would house a symphony orchestra.
This is an interior picture of the rockhouse. Ray, James, and James's dog Lewis are in the picture to the up and left of the large rock.
This is a picture from up underneath a rock overhang near the foot of the cliff looking down into the creek. Also in the picture is Ray and Lewis. Lewis always thinks he adds to the picture and shows up in a lot of my photos. If I get a dog I am going to name him Clark.
This is a photo of the larger stream that borders the property.
Waterfalls The Rockhouse Property is essentially a mile long canyon with the creek that created it running through it. Other smaller tributary creeks to this one fall into the canyon at various locations creating some nice waterfalls. There is also about a mile of frontage on a larger creek in its own gorge where there are likely some additional waterfalls. We have yet to completely explore this property as it includes approximately two miles of creek frontage and about three miles of cliffs. Although the deed calls for 35+/- acres, our mapping software tells us that there is at least 45 acres on this property.
Here is a waterfall that drops over the side of the cliff. Notice James standing on a rock to the left of the bottom of the waterfall. He is about six foot tall so we estimate that this waterfall is about 65 feet tall.
This is another waterfall. It falls down the side of the cliff as a sheet of water. When we were there last, the conditions were right that this sheet of water produced a rainbow.
Here is Ray standing behind another waterfall.
This is the falls at the head of the main creek that runs through the property. Rather than fall over the side of the cliff like some of the others on the property, this one with a larger volume of water cascades and pools through large rocks for a few hundred feet until it finds the canyon floor.
