Tim &
Pam Ernst's Cloudland Property
 CLOUDLAND for sale.
TIM ERNST, one of the most famous nature and landscape
photographers in the country, has decided to depart from his
beloved CLOUDLAND. Mr. ERNST's magnificent lodgepole pine
log cabin clings to a high sandstone bluff that rims the
unbelievably beautiful UPPER BUFFALO RIVER WILDERNESS AREA.
Hike right out the back door along an easy 15-minute
primitive hiking trail to the world famous HAWKSBILL CRAG.
This truly awesome natural rock feature protrudes out over
the rugged WILDERNESS AREA and draws visitors from around
the world. The views from the cabin are breathtaking. This
has to be the premier building site in the entire OZARK
MOUNTAINS. Located at the end of a private drive and, the
mostly wooded 40 acres is bounded on two sides by the
WILDERNESS AREA, providing for additional privacy. Inside
the cabin, one is treated to a spacious, towering room that
serves as the living room/kitchen, dining-room. The ceilings
are covered by nicely patterned T&G aspen. All of the
kitchen counters are topped-off in natural, durable, easy to
clean granite. A large native sandstone wood-burning
fireplace encloses the entire southwest corner of the
living-room and can additionally be viewed from the kitchen
and master bedroom/loft.
