The Little House in the big woods is perfect for a weekend, or weeks on end... you decide whether this will be a vacation rental property, your own private recreational hideaway, or your full time residence. 40 acres to do with as you please and over 36 of woods. The property is near the Shawnee National Forest. The modest house is 3 bedroom with 1 bath and has an enclosed front porch. The living room and eat in kitchen are connected by a window but give a great semi open concept. You are just minutes away from Glen O. Jones Lake, or Garden of the Gods, Pounds Hollow, Rim Rock and other Shawnee National Forest sites. Head to Cave In Rock to golf, explore the cave, or cross the ferry to Kentucky and visit the Amish. You can hunt your property, or the adjacent Shawnee National Forest and there are horse trails nearby. There is an old barn, older garage, and yes, that's an outhouse on the property as well as apple and pear trees. Come check it out!
