Discover this 3BR/1.5BA home in the highly desirable and private Painted Cave community. With vaulted ceilings and walls of natural wood, this log cabin offers warmth and character throughout. A unique upstairs lookout room provides breathtaking wooded vistas and peeks of the ocean, making it the perfect spot to relax and unwind. Set on nearly half an acre, the property offers both privacy and usable outdoor space for possible future development. This peaceful retreat feels worlds away yet is only minutes from town, blending both seclusion and convenience. While full of charm, the home is a fixer and definitely requires some TLC.
