Pinch yourself if you need to, you’re not dreaming. This truly enchanting, one owner, gorgeous, custom built log home is sure to satisfy all your lake home requirements. Everything in this home was well thought out and meticulously constructed right down to the stones on the fireplace. These stones were hand-picked by the seller’s mother & father from a local farmer’s field and were expertly cut and put into place. When you arrive, you will feel peace and tranquility. You will see the love that went into this property including the award-winning garden that produced award winning Hosta’s with over 200 varieties and an adorable Koi Pond that raised many Koi Fish over the years.
