Embrace the quiet life in this one-of-a-kind log cabin. Nestled on 1.53 private acres, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath sanctuary made with love and unique craftsmanship, offers the perfect blend of rustic living and modern comforts.
From the moment you walk in, you’ll notice the unique accents throughout from cedar harvested on the property. The kitchen features stunning, custom-built wood cabinets, while the bathroom is a true masterpiece with a live-edge cedar vanity, a custom river-rock backsplash, and a charming twig-style mirror, and cedar accent crown molding.
The cozy living area is anchored by a magnificent cedar tree and floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, also featuring a wood-burning stove insert. But the true star of the kitchen is the incredible Elmira electric 1928 replica antique cooking wood stove, offering a nostalgic and highly functional way to prepare meals. Two cozy bedrooms provide ample space, with the primary bedroom featuring warm wood tones and a large closet.
The beauty extends outdoors with a massive, covered porch. This property is fully equipped for self-sufficient living! Established garden beds ready for your vegetables and herbs and a chicken coop, chickens are negotiable! The shed is wired and ready for a wood stove, offers plenty of room for extra storage or a workshop. With mature trees, winding paths, and total privacy, this property is the perfect off-grid-style homestead while still being a comfortable home. This isn't just a house; it's a lifestyle.
