Rare opportunity...to own and enjoy this ranch cabin on a gorgeous land parcel off Historic Lincoln Trail Road! Amazing variety of mature trees, open grassy fields, walking trails, gardens & a babbling creek. This natures lovers paradise has been offered for sale only twice... in the past 60 years! A very special home that lives & feels like a private retreat. The original cabin was built with focus & attention to quality & detail: High wood beamed & planked ceilings, tongue & groove walls & Pella windows. Enormous, wide open great-room is open to the eat-in-kitchen that has hearth room, brick fireplace & custom built in island/table. The original owners only used the home as a family weekend retreat. Current owners bought it as it was...frozen in time. Then, taking great care to preserve the original character, invested over 125K in top quality updates & improvements to create this very special living space. ALL NEW in the past few years: Brand brand new large master suite addition, with two vanities, custom tiled shower, walk in closet & laundry room.

Great pride of ownership shines thru. Quaint garden beds & landscape with a variety of native flowers and plantings perfectly placed. Take a walk around this beautiful, fully fenced, 4.5 acre property....Locally known as "Totem Acres". Start your adventure by walking around the pumpkin patch to the "Dinosaur" tree. Then, cross over "Little Pelican" Creek, and follow the path to the "Forbidden Forest". Don't forget to stop by the "Secret Garden". Towering trees & bird song will lead you to this one-of-a-kind cabin...custom built in early 1960's by a master carpenter and carver.
