Description
Escape to your private 23-acre sanctuary-where log-home comfort meets country freedom, just minutes from everything. Step into this striking 2005 log home and feel the difference immediately. Spanning 2,500 square feet of warm, inviting space, this story-and-a-half design with loft and cathedral ceilings delivers open, airy living that still feels cozy and grounded. Three bedrooms and 2½ baths give the whole family room to spread out, while the partially finished basement adds flexible space for a media room, workshop, gym, or future expansion. Outside, the land steals the show. Twenty-three private acres roll out before you: roughly five tillable acres ready for crops or pasture, about an acre of CRP ground generating steady income, and the rest in mature woods perfect for hiking, wildlife watching, or prime hunting. The crown jewel? A fully stocked 3-acre pond complete with dock-cast a line and pull in the big ones, or simply sit and watch the water ripple in the quiet. This is the kind of place where mornings start with coffee on the patio, evenings end in the outdoor hot tub under the stars, and every day feels like a getaway. Practical comforts make the dream livable year-round. Geothermal heating and cooling keeps costs low and the home consistently comfortable. You have public water plus a well for outdoor use, an owned propane tank, a two-car attached garage, a security system, and major appliances (dishwasher, refrigerator, washer, and dryer) that stay. Country living doesn't mean isolation-Route 185 is only five minutes away, putting shops, services, and daily needs within easy reach while you still enjoy total privacy and peace. Whether you're looking for the ultimate family homestead, a relaxing retreat, or smart investment potential (Airbnb, tillable land, CRP payments, or all of the above), this property checks every box. Big fish in the pond, big skies overhead, and big opportunities all around. Motivated Seller! This is more than a house. It's 23 acres of freedom, ready for its next chapter.
