Nestled between Yellowwood and Morgan/Monroe State Forests, this handsome four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom cabin offers the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern convenience. Sited on 11.71 acres of protected forest, this cabin has been custom designed and handcrafted from solid poplar logs (NOT a kit home). The all wood exterior, with wrap around decks, complements it's natural surroundings. Inside, an open living area features vaulted ceilings with a lofted overlook, a corner stone fireplace, and floor-to-ceiling windows that fill the space with natural light and breathtaking forest views. The well equipped kitchen has plenty of cabinet space, a central island and newer stainless steel appliances. A separate dining room is convenient to the kitchen or could easily be used as a home office. The main level primary suite has exposed log walls, a door leading outside to the wrap around deck and a private bath with jetted tub, stand up shower and a double bowl vanity. Upstairs the loft overlooks the living room below and is ideal for a comfortable seating area or flex space as needed. There is a generously sized bedroom with ensuite bath upstairs as well, with its own private outdoor balcony. In the lower level, there are 2 additional bedrooms with ensuite baths, and each has a door leading to the outside to enjoy the views. A rec room rounds out this level with space for a pool table or it could be used as a family room with a big screen tv! The outside has 11.71 acres with expansive decks wrapping around the cabin on 2 levels, offering multiple seating areas. Hike on a nearby trail, stargaze on the deck, or enjoy the coziness of the indoors, this cabin is an ideal retreat for nature lovers seeking a peaceful getaway. Conveniently located just east of Bloomington, this cabin is currently used as a popular tourist home rental. The hot tub and some interior furnishings may be negotiable. The adjacent cabin at 1275 N Sewell Road is also available for sale, MLS #202605657

FR
AREA 3
Forest Reserve District
The character of the Forest Reserve (FR) District is defined as that which is primarily intended for the preservation of forests, recreational areas, parks and greenways, limited agricultural uses and very, very low density single family residential uses. Its purposes are to permit limited single family residential development on very large lots, to discourage the development of residential subdivisions and nonresidential uses, to protect environmentally sensitive areas, such as floodplain and steep slopes and to maintain the character of the surrounding neighborhood. Development in the FR District is hindered by extreme topography, poor access and the availability of few or no public services. Therefore, the number of uses permitted in the FR District is limited. Some uses are conditionally permitted. The conditions placed on these uses are to insure their compatibility with the low-density residential and public open space uses.
