Some properties simply feel special, and this is one of them! Tucked into a spectacular private forest setting, this extraordinary log home offers the rare combination of space, flexibility, privacy and the warmth of true cottage-country living. Thoughtfully designed for multi-generational living, the home features two beautifully finished living spaces, both positioned to take full advantage of peaceful forest views. Extensively updated in 2023, the in-law suite offers over 1,200 sq. ft. of finished living space on one level, with a spacious primary bedroom, ensuite 4-piece bath, large walk-in closet, office and private laundry. The open-concept kitchen and living area is warm and inviting, with a signature fireplace and large windows overlooking a private deck. Ramp access makes this suite especially convenient for seniors or extended family. The primary residence unfolds over two floors, with a welcoming foyer and dramatic living room featuring vaulted ceilings, fireplace and abundant natural light. The substantial new kitchen and separate dining room create an ideal space for family meals and entertaining.

The nearly 2,700 sq. ft. unfinished basement offers incredible potential for storage, recreation, a workshop or future finishing. As impressive as the home is, it is the land that truly sets this property apart. A sprawling mixed forest crisscrossed by trails surrounds your own private retreat. Multiple outbuildings, a covered woodshed and premium 8' x 20' ShelterLogic garage provide exceptional storage. Bonus: most of your heating costs this winter are already covered, with the winter supply of firewood included! A highly efficient wood-fed furnace with propane backup keeps the home comfortable and economical. This is a truly special property that must be experienced in person to fully appreciate. (id:51075)
