There's a timeless appeal to log homes not only because of their cozy atmosphere & rustic charm but also because of their connection to the history of the Black Hills. Combine that with the craftsmanship of a Jorgensen Log Home and the natural beauty of this acreage, and you'll be in love with this home in no time at all! Let's highlight a few of its attributes: Location: Situated on over 5 acres in one of Custer's finest subdivisions, this home offers privacy and tranquility while still being part of a community. Natural Elements: The wall of windows, natural pine floors, and local slate accents create a seamless connection between the indoors and outdoors, allowing you to be immersed in the beauty of nature. Landscaping: The diverse landscaping, including trees, flowers, shrubs, a greenhouse and terraced garden area, enhances the natural beauty surrounding the home. The deer fence adds both practicality & protection to the landscape. The decks will be your go to place for the smell of the pines and during cooler months, listening to the wind in the pines. Upgrades: The improvements and upgrades are too numerous to list here but be sure to look at the list prepared under Associated Documents and the video walkthrough!
