This property has it all! The perfect homestead AND vacation paradise - a bright, open log home surrounded by million-dollar views and natural beauty. The property is almost 45 acres; half is currently farmed (hay, corn, grain) and half is naturalized for wildlife habitat and food. Watch the wildlife or gaze at the Susquehanna River from the wrapped deck while enjoying your morning coffee or relaxing after chores. Two streams run through the property on both sides of the house. The soothing sound of waterfalls invite you to sit a spell on hot summer days. A large garden area outside the house produces all of the vegetables for an entire year thanks to decades of chemical-free soil building and chickens. Mature apple, pear, cherry, quince, mulberry and plum trees, elderberries, wild blackberries, and raspberries reward you from summer through the fall. Young heirloom apples, quinces, dwarf apricots, and pawpaws will add to the bounty over the next few years. For the adventurous soul, hickory and hazelnuts wait cracking in front of a winter fire. If large 4-legged creatures are part of your family, they'll be very comfortable in the 1200 sq ft horse barn (with tack room, stalls, hay room, lean-to and electricity) that sits in the middle of pasture with easy access to a year-round stream. After the harvest, the 10-ft kitchen counter gives you plenty of room for canning and prepping. The hickory cabinets and pantry keep the wood theme alive in the kitchen and provide ample storage space. The kitchen is equipped with a gas stove, Whirlpool refrigerator with bottom freezer, Whirlpool dishwasher, double sink, and lots of counter space. No need to leave in a winter storm, you’ll stay warm and cozy with oil, wood, or propane. Watch the fire dance in the wood stove as you sip hot chocolate or cook up a pot of stew if the power goes off. The private master bedroom suite occupies the second floor and has a large walk-in closet, bathroom, and open loft area that can be used as a reading area or office. Moonlight floods the loft at night through the skylight. In addition to the open living-dining-kitchen area, the main floor has a washer-dryer nook, 3 additional closets, a full bathroom and two bedrooms with large closets and windows. The full basement is partially finished (3 rooms are dry-walled; 4th room houses oil tank, water heater, and storage shelves) and a walk-out porch where you can watch hummingbirds dance. You can easily unload groceries or pack the car in any weather thanks to the screened breezeway and attached garage. A detached 3-car garage is the perfect place to store your toys or set up a wood shop.
