Unique rustic log cabin in the woods. This 2 bedroom 1 bath cabin on 6 plus acres with a spring-fed pond is the get-away you've been dreaming of. Bordering Pike National Forest, perfect for hunting, weekends, or full-time living. The solar system is in (see below) and there is a generator set-up, a gravity fed cistern for water, connections for propane (see below) and even a bear-resistant chicken coop with a gravity fed rainwater 'pond' for their water. This cabin has true pioneer charm. This cabin was constructed long ago using hand-hewn logs harvested off the property. It has been re-chinked, and the addition built since then, but it's in remarkable shape. There is a root cellar adjacent to the cabin, a covered patio off the rear with wind breaks included so you can enjoy dining outdoors. The house was built with a post and beam construction and no settling or cracking has occurred - which is pretty amazing. The skylights in the original cabin and the addition developed some leaks, which were sealed and haven't leaked since, but they may need more work. Lightening struck the solar controls so it isn't functional, but the solar collector panels are intact, the wiring is intact, and it only needs battery maintenance/replacement (don't know which) and a new controller. The cistern is gravity fed and only needs water added. The propane tank was removed when the Owners vacated several years ago, but could be replaced. There is a cesspool for the septic but should be upgraded if you increase the load on it. Owners lived in this home for 14 years, full-time, so it is live-able. Health and financial difficulties don't allow them to do the work now, so with a little effort, and a little money, this cabin could be made into your dream-come-true.
