Move-in ready two story log house is built on the southern facing side of Franklin Mountain, and its panoramic windows open up to a breathtaking view of the valley with Ouleout Creek, Leonta Village, and beautiful fields. It stands on a rectangular 11.6 acre property with long frontage on a quiet, no-outlet road that is maintained by the town all year round. In accordance with town codes, the property’s size and road frontage allow for subdivision or the construction of a second home. The majority of this property consists of a beautiful meadow with a sparse mix of elegant pines and deciduous trees. Deer and turkeys pass through the property several times a day, to the delight of any wildlife or hunting enthusiast. The western border of the property is marked by a stream that flows year-round, while the southern border runs along the valley. Federal law forbids construction in the valley, which ensures that the view from the house will be preserved for decades to come. This 5 beds 4 baths 3,120 sqft log house was custom designed by Alta Logs. It features high ceilings (9+ feet), as well as cathedral ceilings in the living and dining rooms. Custom ordered tall doors bring elegance to the interior. The log walls are sharply contrasted by painted drywall, which accentuates the natural beauty of their wood and gives each room a unique mood. The living room, dining room, and three of the bedrooms feature panoramic windows that line the south wall of the house. The spacious valley views from these windows become like dynamic pictures that decorate the home and bring in abundant natural light. The bright pinewood floors perfectly compliment the sunlight that pours in through these windows and adds a rustic touch.

The lot contains 15 acres of beautiful woods, with countless pine trees and other evergreens. This lot features an old farmers' road that makes it easy to retreat into the forest. But stepping off the path is just as satisfying, since the evergreens leave the forest floor wide open, which makes for great hiking all year round. Inside the woods, you'll find many streams and springs. In particular, one spring seeps out in a flat area of the woods and forms a wide open, shallow stream that makes for a perfect place to relax and breath the fresh forest air.
