Discover this one-of-a-kind log cabin retreat! Nestled at the end of a private drive, it opens to a spacious yard with flower beds and fenced garden. Enjoy a large outbuilding and 3-stall pole barn for all your gear. Relax on the front paver patio or covered porch, or take in scenic views from the 310 sq ft back deck overlooking a ravine. The mostly finished walkout basement includes a kitchenette, laundry room and half bath—ideal for a guest suite. The uniqueness of this home lies in the property itself. Explore the groomed trails, cross the creek bridge, and enjoy hunting with multiple deer blinds including a two story dream blind. Sit on the back balcony and listen to the water from the nearby lake into your creek. This property is truly a nature lover's paradise!
