About this home

A place to escape to. This log home is on 5 acres on sand creek. It was once someone's dream home and now it can be yours. The log home sits back in the woods where there is nothing but privacy. This new build was never finished but the work that was completed was done well. Most of the hard work is done but still needs plumbing, electrical, HVAC, Drywall and Trim to be completed to make it yours. Room sizes based on studded walls. Home is accessible via an easement through USFS property. A yearly permit to use the easement after purchase is required. There is no electric service from the road back to the home. This is a Fannie Mae HomePath property.
