Surrounded by rolling hills and minutes from John Boyd Thacher State Park, this charming 2 BR 1 BA log cabin situated on 4.52 acres is more than a home—it's a sanctuary for those who crave the outdoors and the peace of country living. Enjoy being immersed in breathtaking views, miles of trails, and endless opportunities to connect with nature, all while just being a short drive to Albany and the Capital Region. Inside, this home welcomes you with light-filled rooms and an open floor plan designed for comfort.
