Rare Log‑Home Retreat on Nearly 8 Acres — Private, Peaceful, and Close to Everything! This beautiful log home offers the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern convenience, set on just under eight private acres while remaining only minutes from shopping, schools, Valley Health, and Historic Downtown Winchester. With three to four bedrooms and two full bathrooms, the home provides flexible living spaces ideal for everyday comfort, multi‑generational needs, or a weekend retreat. Warm wood tones, natural light, and the inviting ambiance of a true log home create a welcoming interior. A wood‑burning fireplace insert adds both character and efficient supplemental heat. The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with an energy‑efficient induction cooktop, refrigerator, under‑cabinet lighting, a modern faucet, and garbage disposal. The recently added 50‑gallon electric water heater and water softener are located in the full unfinished basement, offering easy access, improved efficiency, and room for future expansion. Additional improvements include Ecobee thermostats with sensors, new lighting throughout, a 2025 oven and microwave, and a 2026 range hood. Major mechanical upgrades provide peace of mind, including a 2024 architectural roof with new skylights, a new well pump, and a Flo by Moen leak‑detection system that performs nightly tests for added security. Outside, the property continues to impress with a detached garage, an additional storage shed, and a chicken coop complete with chickens—perfect for those seeking a turnkey homestead element. The acreage provides a serene, private setting with room to garden, explore, or simply enjoy the quiet beauty of the outdoors, all while remaining remarkably close to Winchester conveniences. Opportunities like this are rare. Experience the privacy of country living without sacrificing proximity to town. This exceptional log‑home property is truly one of a kind. Schedule your Tour today!
