This beautiful log home was built in 2005 on 22 acres. The eastern white pine logs were cut from the forests of New Hampshire, sawn rectangular in shape to dimensions of 11”high by 7”thick, and erected by the stack and dovetail method of log home construction. The foundation for the home was formed and poured into the solid sandstone bedrock of a saddle ridge building site set above a lake dug at the same time as this dwelling was being built. The lake has over a quarter-mile of shoreline and a 14 x 14 foot floating dock. Shagbark hickory, white and red oak, wild cherry, maple, ash and elm trees provide a high canopy above the understory of mushrooms, ginseng patches and paw paw trees.
