About this home

Picture sitting in a stunning sunroom surrounded by spectacular wall-to-wall windows that open to magnificent views. This log home on beautiful Cedar Lake is nestled on a private, 13+/- acre wooded landscape providing over 1,000 feet of shoreline. Quality craftsmanship throughout this uncommon home will entice discriminating buyers. The deck on this Huisman-built Canadian Red Cedar log home features a hot tub looking out over the lake, a hand-carved front door, natural woodwork and a breathtaking floor to ceiling rock fireplace. Every detail was carefully planned, the proof of this can be found in the subtle finishing touches including the copper rain gutters and the seemingly effortless landscaping. The home includes a total of 4 bedrooms and 3 baths including a master suite with full private bath. The walkout basement is tastefully finished; complete with two bedrooms, a bath and laundry facilities. The 3-stall garage hosts guest quarters above it. A rare opportunity.
