Description

Tucked away on nearly 12 secluded, wooded acres, this one-of-a-kind log cabin is a rare blend of authenticity, character, and opportunity. From the moment you step inside, you're transported to a simpler time, where hand-crafted doors, exposed beams, and a striking stone fireplace tell a story of true craftsmanship and days gone by. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home is rich with rustic charm while offering the space and setting today's buyers are searching for. The interiors feel warm and inviting, perfect for quiet mornings by the fire or gathering with family and friends. Outside, the property truly shines. A saltwater pool with pool house creates a resort-like atmosphere, while a private pond adds to the peaceful, storybook setting. The additional workshop and Quonset hut provide endless flexibility for hobbies, storage, or creative use. Whether you're looking for a private retreat, a unique primary residence, or an income-producing investment, this property delivers. With three weddings already hosted on the grounds, it has proven appeal as an event, wedding, or Airbnb destination. The setting is ideal for hosting unforgettable celebrations, weekend getaways, or intimate retreats surrounded by nature. Properties like this don't come along often. This is more than a home. It's an experience, a destination, and a legacy waiting to be continued.
