The property also includes its own private network of hiking trails including direct access to the East Moraine right from the backyard, giving you private access to one of the area’s most scenic landscapes. After a long day of hiking, climb into the new hot tub and soak up the nature all around you.
This dog-friendly home features a fenced yard and dog door, so your furry companions can enjoy the adventure too. With easy access to Wallowa Lake, nearby trails, and local attractions, you’re just minutes from the marina, state park, tramway, and the charming town of Joseph—known for its festivals, art scene, and small-town charm.
