From the Zillow listing:

 

Talk about mountain living! This rare, historical property is ready to be a family home or a short term rental property. ?A first visit to the property is like no other. “How did you find this place?” are often the first words spoken. The rustic cabin, built in 1941, sits in the middle of one of the smallest rail loops in the world and features 10 acres of hiking and views on mixed terrain with two streams, access to a small pond, and a multi-level Disc Golf course. The cabin lies within the Old Fort Loops rail system built in the 1870’s, and exploration of that history is experiencing a recent revival among academic and social historians. The property lies just five miles down a scenic drive to the town of Old Fort, restaurants, breweries, hiking trailheads, and Interstate 40.
