Log cabin lovers take notice! This may be the one you’ve been looking for. This 2,200-square foot home was built in 2005 and features that awesome Appalachian-style rectangular log construction with dovetail corners and the reliability of Perma-Chink.  The beauty of the large rectangular logs is emphasized even more with the usage of hand-hewn Western Hemlock logs, a very durable species. Of course, this beauty has a large covered, wrap-around porch, but how about a hot tub on that porch too? The 2-story cabin contains 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths with the master bedroom suite on the main level along with the great room, kitchen and laundry room. Also on the main level is a beautiful newer sunroom addition with its own wood burning stove, baseboard heat, and a fantastic full-wall, hand-made cedar cabinet that stays with the home. The main living area great room has a full stone fireplace and stone chase for authenticity, and there are gorgeous hickory hardwood floors throughout most of the cabin.  The cabinetry in the kitchen is also a complementing hickory masterfully crafted by Amish makers. The large master bedroom is very spacious and offers a large walk-in closet.  The bathrooms both have actual cast iron claw foot bathtubs added effect.  The home also has energy efficient, quality Pella double-hung windows throughout.  Upstairs there is an open loft area with two sleeping areas and a nook. The roof overhead is covered by attractive 40-year rate, dimensional shingles for peace of mind.  Downstairs is the partial basement with 10” thick, solid-pour walls and the mechanical room housing the water softener and furnace.  The main home area excluding the sunroom is on central air and the furnace is propane-fueled. A few other details include 3 ceiling fans on the covered porch for cooling on warm summer days, a kitchen pantry, an alarm system, and a heatilator for efficiency in comfort. There is a closely located 24 x 30 detached garage, with board and batten siding complementing the cabin nicely. It is large enough for 2 cars and still has plenty of room for storage and workshop area. The garage is very nicely kept and has nice concrete floors and plenty of lighting. Upon pulling into the gated property driveway, you will first see a large 30 x 40 traditional barn on the left-hand side of the drive. This barn has been beautifully preserved with newer metal siding and roofing. It has its own water and electricity plus a roomy woodshop area and great storage for lawn and farm equipment. There is also another utility shed for additional tool and yard item storage as needed. The water supply is provided by a natural spring, and in fact, is known to be one of the best springs located within this county. The property also features another potential building site located across the driveway from the older barn that also has its own well on what the owners call the “homestead lot”. The property is heavily wooded but contains a 4 to 5-acre pasture-like clearing in the southeast corner that would make a phenomenal food plot location for attracting deer and turkeys. Because of the lack of nearby agricultural land, a food plot located here would draw LOTS of visitors! Incidentally, this corner also has a creek that just crosses into the property briefly providing a great watering source for wildlife as well. The northern and southern adjoining properties are state forestry property giving the owner access to additional land to access for recreation. The creeks make great exploring and are known to contain rare geode rocks for collectors. Of course, this area and property offer fantastic deer and turkey hunting and morel mushrooms during the spring season.  A fantastic opportunity to own a dream cabin with buildings, land to roam and hunt, along with the peace and quiet of nature at its finest!
