From their history to their beauty, their strength to their versatility, log homes are, in a word, awesome. A log home is comfortable and relaxing. Maybe it’s the way that light shines on the log walls and ceilings or just sitting on the porch swing at the end of the day- whatever the case, this home is no exception. Built in 2019, this beyond charming 3 bedroom + Loft, 2 ½ bath log home includes a 1 ½ car detached garage, and a 2-stall barn with loafing area, perfectly situated on 5.44 acres. Not to be missed- all the buildings have metal roofs! The land is exactly what you need, the perfect combination of forest and pasture. The homesite is fenced and cross fenced, with a watering hole in the back southwest pasture. Inside the log home you will find enchanting and unexpected things. Things like soaring ceilings, a spiral staircase with roughhewn wood steps, barn doors, a bewitching hand carved wooden bench, and even a wine barrel vanity. You will also find a very open concept kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a farmhouse copper sink overlooking the back pastures, whimsical cabinets with horseshoe handles, a breakfast nook, and sliders leading to the screened in back porch. The primary bedroom downstairs has a door leading to the side porch, an en-suite bathroom that includes a large walk-in-shower, private water closet, walk-in-closet, gorgeous countertops, and captivating cabinets with horseshoe handles. The Laundry Room/Mud Room is quite spacious, with stainless steel washer and dryer plus a door that leads to the screened-in back porch. Across the hallway is another large area for storage. Adding to the charm and functionality of the home is the luxury plank vinyl flooring, which is gorgeous and oh so easy to care for. Upstairs more fabulous things can be found, including a huge loft overlooking the back pasture, 2 good sized bedrooms (one has a walk-in-closet) plus another very charming bathroom. Sweeping porches, whispering pine trees, clear night skies with twinkling stars and the clean air of nature, it’s all here. This is the place to raise a family, escape for the weekend, or retire to peace and tranquility. Now, you may think this amazing log home is in the “middle of nowhere”. Quite the opposite.
