This rare & stunning property offers a scenic combination of timber, canyons and grass. The land is beautiful and abundant in wildlife and it offers all newly constructed buildings including a custom log home, large shop, horse shelter and corrals. The house is almost complete so here is your chance to make the final choices and make it your own! Some of the projects remaining include a fireplace, decks (if desired) and some floor coverings. The property is owned by a Lashley Land sales associate and her husband; they are leaving their dream property only because a recent job promotion requires them to relocate to Montana. A new private road leads you ¼ mile off the county road to the beautiful custom log home. It is constructed out of 10 inch round logs from standing dead timber by the Bitterroot Valley Timber Co. in Montana. The logs are Swedish cope & hand hewn for added beauty. The floor plan is efficient with an open kitchen, dining and great room featuring 21 ft tall cathedral ceilings, log railings and rustic hickory cabinets. At the back entry there is a laundry room, walk-in coat closet & a half bath. The cozy master bedroom has a private bath and walk-in closet.
