Live the mountain dream in this unique custom log cabin on over 15 acres sitting right beside a cascading stream. This one of a kind log cabin was built using hand hewn logs from an 1830's school house and the interior wood and logs from an 1860's home and barn. The original mantel from the 1860's home hangs over the wood burning fireplace. Hand carved exposed beams were added to the ceiling to be viewed from the main floor and loft. Spruce wood covers the walls and ceilings of the finished basement creating a warm atmosphere. A network of stone pathways encircle the home leading down to the creek. The property also has a large shop/garage with a loft. A must see home that's rich in history
