SELLER HAS THIS TO SAY ABOUT THE HOME HE’S LOVINGLY UPDATED FOR NEARLY A DECADE: We loved our log cabin and will miss it. The privacy and wildlife made us feel like we were in another world. After a long commute from the city the closer we got the more we could feel the stress drain away. Even working from home was more relaxing because of the natural environment. There was almost never any sound from cars, trucks or neighbors. Even so there were lots of wonderful neighbors only a short walk away. On a beautiful fall day the stroll down our dirt road would allow a pleasant conversation with a neighbor about the latest wildlife sightings. The resident deer population were always visiting the yard hoping for some fresh grass or a free snack. Very little time was spent managing the surrounding woods so as not to disturb the natural environment. And the clean air and pure mountain spring water from a community water system added to the pleasure of spending time here. The change of seasons always provided new excitement and the holidays at the cabin were reminiscent of years gone by. The first snowfall was always thrilling while sitting around the fireplace. We had many wonderful family times and will always treasure the memories. We sincerely hope the new owners will enjoy the cabin as much as we did.
