About This Home

As of February 2020

This 3 bedroom log cabin sits back off the road and is surrounded by pure beauty. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking. There is a nice, slow creek running through the property, plus raspberry bushes and apple trees. Sit on the back deck or the enclosed patio and enjoy all that nature has to offer. There is a separate building last used as a hair salon, with a bit of imagination could be a perfect mother-in-law suite . Also, a detached garage and extra large storage shed.
