About this home

Attention all Homesteaders, Equestrians, Hunters & Nature Enthusiasts!! This a very unique and rare opportunity to have your very own private Log Cabin on almost 6 Acres. This partially wooded lot includes 2 Ponds, open pastures, and even a creek. On the property you'll also find several outbuildings including horse stables, work shed and garage. The home itself is a TRUE Log Cabin and features a large and welcoming screened-in front porch, maintenance free metal roof, house generator and even a basement. As you enter the home you'll notice the perfect blend of Modern & Rustic vibes as you feel the warmth of the natural wood throughout, yet still appreciate the benefits of having an open living room, formal dining room, eat-in kitchen and master bedroom on the main floor. Words can not describe how special this place really is, you'll need to come see it for yourself!
