Beautiful country setting with everything an outdoorsman or horse lover could ask for. This 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath log home sits on 17.5 surveyed acres and offers 1,280 sq ft of living space on the main floor and loft along with an additional finished walkout basement. The home has the warm, rustic feel you would expect from a true log home while still offering the comfort and functionality needed for everyday living.
Outside, the property is set up well for livestock or recreational use with fenced pasture, two ponds, and multiple outbuildings. The 24x36 detached 3-car garage provides plenty of room for vehicles, equipment, or a workshop area. The large 60x120 pole building with dirt floor would be ideal for horses, cattle, hay or additional equipment storage.
If you enjoy hunting, this property checks all the boxes. The area is known for excellent deer and turkey hunting and has produced several quality bucks over the years. There are also great locations for food plots to help attract and hold wildlife on the property. Whether you are looking for a full-time residence, hunting property, hobby farm, or horse setup, this property offers a hard-to-find combination of country living and recreational opportunity.
