Tucked along the gentle banks of Mud Creek, this quintessential Jim Barna log home blends timeless craftsmanship with a warm, inviting mountain feel. Freshly stained, hand-hewn beams and classic log construction set the tone, while the soft, melodic flow of the creek creates a soothing, ever-present soundtrack, bringing a sense of calm and connection to nature into everyday life.
Lovingly maintained by its original owners since 1999, the home reflects years of thoughtful care and pride of ownership, offering a genuine sense of warmth and authenticity that is increasingly rare.
Covered front and back porches provide the perfect spots to relax and take in the peaceful surroundings, where the gentle sounds of the water and the beauty of the landscape invite you to slow down and unwind. Inside, the open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area offers an easy, comfortable flow, centered around a cozy gas log fireplace — ideal for gathering with family and friends.
The main level features two guest bedrooms, while the upper level offers a private primary suite along with a charming loft overlooking the living area. The lower level adds incredible flexibility with a second living room or recreation area, a kitchenette, a bonus room, a full bathroom, a laundry room, and a generous workshop or storage space.
With Mud Creek frontage and the scenic backdrop of 93+ acres of Camp Merriewoode land just across the water, the setting feels both private and expansive. Offered mostly furnished, this property is ready to enjoy from day one — ideal as a full-time residence, mountain retreat, or investment opportunity.
