Are you ready to live more deliberately? Escape to the woods with this stunning log home aside a private pond on 20 secluded acres bordering over 100 acres of national forest. This 3 bedroom 2 bathroom log home exudes warmth, craftsmanship, and artistry. The almost 3000 square feet of living space is rich with custom finishes: classic log beams, recycled glass counter top with inset knife holder, commissioned murals, walk-in shower, farmhouse sink, wine cooler, and more. Sit in the shade of the porch and watch deer drink from the pond. Cook pizza in the wood fired oven on the patio. Explore the forest trails. Plant in the raised garden beds. Rinse off in the outdoor shower before retreating to the sunroom to revel in the evening woodland glow. Life is waiting for you at 53 W. Wilke Road.
