If you have ever dreamed of owning a completely renovated log cabin in the mountains on a pond with dock, a 63x28 garage, and acreage with trails for everyone to run 4 wheelers/ UTV's around, then this is your home! This property has had over 2.3 million invested to make it rustic new. Pictures can't show the solitude of sitting on the screened porch looking at the main pond, sitting in the conditioned sitting room looking at the side pond, hanging out in the back under the 24x17 covered area next to the massive rock wall with rock fireplace for outdoor entertaining. Come inside and you will see the original 1785 side on the right with bedrooms and den. The laundry and bath in the newer middle section and to the left you head to the kitchen, living and master bedroom with another bedroom above. Impressive rock fireplace in the great room that opens up to the kitchen, dining and screen porch. Hike/atv the over 3 miles of trails/roads and see the surrounding mountains.
