Must see this Charming Log Cabin with Acreage, Peaceful Pond Views, and Lake Access. Nestled on 18.712 acres in the scenic Paynes Creek area of Hartwell, this rustic home was originally built in 1989 as a log cabin weekend getaway. Over the years, it has been thoughtfully expanded and renovated, blending rustic charm with modern comforts. The original one-bedroom log cabin side has been transformed into a chef's delight kitchen, perfect for culinary enthusiasts or large family meals. This side also includes a cozy bedroom, a sunroom that invites in natural light, and a well-appointed bathroom. The upper floor features two additional bedrooms, providing ample space for family and guests. In 1998, the cabin was expanded with a two-story annex, which boasts a spacious living room with vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, and a stunning stone fireplace. A loft area that sleeps two more overlooks the living space, and the master suite features a walk-in closet and a recently renovated private bath for a true retreat. The two sections of the home are connected by a glassed-in breezeway, and both wings offer front porches. The back of the property features a serene pond, shared with the adjacent landowner, creating a peaceful backdrop and offering wonderful wildlife views from your own back porch. See deer, turtles, herons, and more daily from your back porch, or walk down to the cove for the ultimate fishing honey pot! Use the trails in your woods for hiking or ATV fun! Launch your canoe or kayaks from your access to a private beach lake lagoon, or put a boat in just half a mile away at the Paynes Creek Boat Ramp. A marina with rental slips is only a short distance away! Properties like this one don't come around often. With its peaceful setting, spacious layout, and beautiful surroundings, this home offers the perfect blend of tranquility and convenience for year-round living or a serene weekend escape. Lake Lot is red zone and not Dockable. Don't let this unique property slip away- call agent today!
