Located just north of Lake Summerset on 10 acres +/-, this property offers a perfect blend of country charm and modern amenities amidst rolling hills. As you enter the circle driveway, you’ll immediately notice the well-maintained log cabin, multiple outbuildings, and an inviting in-ground pool. Approaching the cabin, you’re greeted by a spacious wrap-around porch, perfect for entertaining, with an additional space at the rear of the home. Inside, an open floor plan with abundant natural light and hardwood floors welcomes you. The large family room seamlessly transitions into the eat-in kitchen, remodeled in 2021. This high-end kitchen features granite countertops, custom cabinets, and stainless steel appliances, including a Wolf stove with a pot filler, sub zero refrigerator, Cove dishwasher, and microwave drawer. The main floor hosts one bedroom and a full bathroom, which can also serve as an office with convenient access for visiting clients. An elegant open staircase leads to an oversized master bedroom upstairs, complete with its own full bathroom. The lower level offers a recreational/bar area, two additional bedrooms, and a full bathroom. The property’s appeal extends outdoors with a variety of functional spaces. A 48x52 outbuilding features concrete floors, two overhead doors, and a heater, while a second building serves as a workshop with concrete floors and a wood-burning stove. The in-ground saltwater pool (installed in 2017) is surrounded by pavers and a stone wall, complemented by a roofed bar area perfect for entertaining with its own grill. Despite its private setting, the property is conveniently located near town. Additional storage buildings and a chicken coop add to the property’s versatility. The land includes 3.5 acres of tillable ground, over 1 acre of open ground that can be farmed or used as pasture, and 1.25 acres of timber on the south side with a creek. Numerous updates over the years include the roof, windows, exterior staining, gutters, and mechanicals, making this property a truly exceptional find.
