Rare opportunity to own a piece of Hocking County history. Situated on 67 acres adjacent to the Wayne National Forrest on three sides is a hand-hewn true log cabin originally built in the 1830's. Former owners, realizing the historical significance of the cabin carefully dismantled and reverently mapped and tagged each log then reconstructed it. The rare dovetail joints and a newspaper dated 1834 found in the chinking confirmed the age of the cabin. Current owners have added additional historic touches including sandstone blocks from the canal system used as retaining walls and bricks for steps from Nelsonville Central school. This property boasts two streams, a pond, over a mile of groomed trails and is close to the ORV trail system. The bathhouse and laundry area is inspired by the design of the Colorado Hut system. An ADU provides an additional living space complete with bedroom and bathroom. The main house is one room and a loft and has been thoughtfully designed to make the best use of the small space. The property has several additional building sites, a three car garage and plenty of wildlife. A one of a kind property with investment potential make this a must see.
