Custom Amish-Built Cabin on 7.4 Wooded Acres with Creek Access, 3-Car Barn, and a Hot Tub Off the Back Deck. This property started as raw land and a vision. What exists today is a custom Amish-built cabin retreat that took years to get right, with zero shortcuts along the way. The 1-bedroom, 1-bath cabin lives entirely on one level, including laundry, making daily life here genuinely easy. The den adds a murphy bed, giving the cabin real flexibility for guests without sacrificing the room's everyday function. French doors off the main living area open directly onto a deck where the hot tub sits framed by the woods. Trees were selectively cleared behind the cabin to establish a grass clearing, and the result is a backyard that pulls birds, deer, and abundant wildlife in close...... Sit long enough and the show comes to you. The upgraded HVAC system keeps the cabin comfortable year-round, and a whole-house generator backed by a seller-owned 500-gallon underground propane tank means power and heat are never a concern. No tank rental, no monthly fees on your fuel supply. That transfers with the sale. Starlink delivers full broadband anywhere on the property. SimpliSafe handles security. The lower level adds a reinforced safe room, dedicated office space, and clean mechanical access. The sellers engineered this land from the ground up. A complete water management system was designed and installed, including grading, French gutters, and strategically placed farm faucets throughout the acreage. A dedicated wood processing area manages the natural timber that comes down on 7.4 mostly wooded acres and keeps seasoned firewood stocked for seasons ahead. The 3-car barn is built to the same standard as everything else here. The floor is coated in Polyurea, installed in 2021 with a lifetime warranty. Polyurea outperforms epoxy in every meaningful category: 20 times more flexible, crack-resistant as the concrete moves with the seasons, and impervious to the chemicals and moisture a working barn sees daily. It's the kind of detail that tells you how this entire property was approached. Direct access to a 6-mile creek corridor completes the picture. It shows in person in ways photographs simply cannot capture.
