About this home

Tucked in the woods, this cozy cabin lends itself to several uses including Primary Residence, Second Home, or an Air BnB, which is what it was previously used for. A sprawling 1.83 acres of wooded land for the outdoor enthusiast. Whether you're roasting marshmallows by the fire pit or enjoying the wildlife on your front porch, this property checks all of the country living boxes while Interstate 26 is less than two miles away for easy access. Inside you will find hardwood and tile flooring, a vaulted ceiling, a huge primary bedroom, and a woodstove for those cooler nights. This is rural living at its finest!
