About The Property...

In 2013 Tim began repairing, cleaning, cutting, clearing, remodeling and building on the property. The first major construction projects were the huge log porch and the timber wall that are now signature features of Fort Austin. Next, Tim remodeled the main lodge, finished deluxe apartments, built cabins, built grain bins, re-drilled the well, upgraded the utilities, built a timber barn and constructed the log pavilion. Building Fort Austin was hard work but truly a labor of love.
