Escape to your own private sanctuary! This stunning custom-built log home is nestled on a secluded property, offering peace, privacy, and timeless craftmanship. Warm and inviting, the home features rich wood tones throughout, a cozy wood stove (vented to heat the entire home) for those crisp evenings and custom cabinetry that adds rustic charm and functionality. A detached second living area with a bedroom, kitchen, and a full bathroom. Step outside to a thoughtfully designed homestead: a covered equipment pole shed, metal building workshop with an office, full bath, wood stove, a large chicken coop/hen house, raised garden beds, a tranquil koi pond, and a larger pond perfect for relaxation and recreation. Entertain or unwind on the spacious deck, take a dip in the above-ground pool, relax in the evenings by the fire pit or savor your morning coffee on the screened porch surrounded by nature. This one-of-a-kind property offers the perfect blend of rustic elegance, self-sufficiency, and outdoor living - a true statement from the everyday hustle.
