If your looking for ordinary-this isn’t it. It’s now your turn to own and care for a piece of the area’s history. Welcome to our “Cowboy Cabin”- a custom built cedar and limestone home sitting on over 7 acres featuring an original Ross Entwhistler log cabin which serves as the family room and loft area. There’s a gorgeous limestone fireplace where you can curl up with a good book, or watch the sunrise and seasons change from the screened in 3 seasons porch. This well appointed home was remodeled in 2016 to feature custom granite counter tops and kitchen island, glass front cabinetry, stone floors, Jel-Wend windows, chef’s kitchen with Kitchen-Aid appliances, bar area and a butler’s pantry/laundry room that is all sure to please. There is a mud room for kicking off those boots and easy clean up. The atrium staircase with skylights takes you downstairs to the gym, a non-confirming bedroom with cedar closets and extra storage. The primary bedroom has a vaulted, beamed ceiling and a gorgeous master bath. The upstairs loft is used as a sitting room but could be an additional bunk area for guests. Outside there is a wrought iron fenced in yard and attractive landscaping that changes with the seasons. It’s located 1.6 miles from the Chestnut Mountain Ski Resort, where you can watch the sunsets over the Mississippi when friends and family come to visit. 8 miles from Historic Galena and all it has to offer. It’s the best of both worlds offering modern amenities in close vicinity of tourism activities and the larger Dubuque area while enjoying a tranquil piece of the past.
