There is a story within this REAL LOG HOME on approximately 24 acres with a 34'x48' post and beam barn plus three additional out buildings that is only revealed when you stroll the property and savor the craftsmanship. Only 5.6 miles from the Star City Bridge it is a dream come true for the modern day homesteader. Having been used for raising cattle, a horse, chickens, and at one time a university funded sheep and goat grazing project. Small pond for fishing or ice skating is a delight. Even the outbuildings are made of log: 22'x32' log garage with a salt box roof; 10'x16' log shed with a salt box roof; and cutest of all is the 6'x6' log play house with a gable roof, porch, and electric. Moveable chicken house with a 10'x20' covered pen. Includes automatic feeder, waterer with heat tape, light-operated entry door, and outside egg collection. Every detail was thought of and carefully implemented. A whole house generator and three sources of heat: a high efficiency gas furnace (put in in recent years in addition to central a/c) and auxiliary heat sources should you choose from electric baseboards and the wood stove (which at one time was the sole source of heat) mean that you will never be cold despite the weather. Abundant wild life as well as a developing Pawpaw orchard. There is a gravel road with access to the cleared power line area providing additional access to the top of the hill as well as to the developed spring with large concrete tank for livestock. This was where the university project used to be. There is a rich history in both this home and the land that is waiting for the next chapter to be written.
