About this home

This 90 acre wooded parcel with frontage on the St. George River, a pristine 2 bedroom log home and oversized heated garage is ready for you to move in. Enjoy one floor living with vaulted ceilings, open beams and massive stone fireplace with woodstove insert. Each bedroom has its own full bath. Extra sleeping space is in the loft areas over the bedrooms. There is a large screened porch off of the living room where you can relax and enjoy the nature around you in the warm summer months. The garage is insulated, sheet rocked and heated and has a full second floor which could be turned into a studio, workout space, apartment or whatever. A well groomed path leads to the waterfront where you can launch your canoe or kayak or just just sit quietly and observe the beauty around you. The property is in Tree Growth which helps keep the property taxes at a very affordable level. The drive into the property is partly by a deeded right of way and the home is about 1/3 of a mile in from the main road. This is a nature lovers paradise and a real ''must see''.
