What's special
Welcome to a truly one-of-a-kind full-log mountain retreat offering approximately 3,898 sq. ft. of beautifully designed living space on 7 wooded acres along the Piney Ridge mountain line. This exceptional property combines rustic character, thoughtful updates, and resort-style outdoor living with commanding views across Adams County and the surrounding orchard country. The home features three primary suites, each with fully remodeled baths showcasing distinctive, high-end design details. The renovated kitchen is equipped with top-of-the-line appliances and flows naturally into the home's inviting living spaces. The main-level primary suite features French doors opening directly to the deck, creating an effortless connection to the outdoors and amazing views. The lower level adds even more versatility with a sauna, wood-burning stove for supplemental heat, and abundant storage. Heating and cooling, water, and septic systems have all been fully updated, and a whole-house generator provides added peace of mind. Step outside and discover an extraordinary private oasis. The outdoor living area features a stone fireplace, built-in grill, refrigerator, and a wood-fired pizza oven—perfect for entertaining or relaxing while taking in the peaceful mountain setting. A saltwater, free-form inground pool features a dramatic rock waterfall and overlooks the scenic "Narrows Valley."

The home is minutes from the Appalachian Trail, Michaux State Forest, and Fuller Lake, offering endless opportunities for hiking, recreation, and exploration. The detached garage is equipped with electricity and plumbing lines ready for the addition of water. The log exterior is professionally stained every 3–4 years, helping preserve the home's distinctive character and beauty. Despite its tranquil, private setting, the property is conveniently located within approximately 20–30 minutes of Chambersburg, Carlisle, and historic Gettysburg. If you're looking for a remarkable mountain home with privacy, views, exceptional outdoor amenities, and a design unlike anything else, this Piney Ridge retreat deserves your attention.
