About This Home

As of November 2025

Tucked away in the heart of the breathtaking Sky Valley community—where every day feels like a retreat in your own state park—this stunning 3-bedroom, 2-bath log home offers the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. You’ll also enjoy unmatched access to nature and water recreation right outside your door. Step inside to soaring cathedral ceilings and a spectacular great room anchored by a beautiful gas fireplace—perfect for cozy evenings with family and friends. The open kitchen/dining/living area has everything you need for all your family and friends. The loft above the living area adds character and flexibility, ideal as a den, office, or additional lounge space. The spacious primary bedroom and private bath is privately located upstairs, creating a peaceful retreat, while two additional bedrooms and a full bath on the main level provide comfort and convenience for family or guests. Downstairs, a rec room offers the perfect hangout zone, game room, or hobby area, with direct access to the attached garage—great for gear, lake toys, or year-round storage. A bonus garage/storage shed keeps everything organized and out of sight. Step outside to enjoy a beautifully level yard, ideal for lawn games, entertaining, or simply soaking in the natural beauty of Sky Valley. At night, unwind in the hot tub under a canopy of stars—your own private haven of peace and quiet. Best of all Sky Valley offers 3000' of common lakefront that rivals the Deep Creek Lake State Park! 3 swimming platforms, multiple picnic pavilions, canoe racks, boat slips, jet ski area, trash building for the neighborhood, a pond for fishing, and for Sky Valley members, the only private boat launch on Deep Creek Lake. There is a waiting list for the dock slip. When homes sell the slip goes back to the association. Until you get your assigned slip you can launch your boat at the neighborhood boat launch. Explore the neighborhood on your golf cart or ATV! For the golfers in the group, it is only minutes to Thousand Acre Lakeside Golf Course. Find out more about this secluded lake access community in the mountains of Western Maryland on the Sky Valley Web Site. Whether you’re swimming, boating, fishing, hiking, or just unwinding, this home is the ultimate year-round escape. With its mix of rustic elegance, thoughtful layout, and unbeatable setting, this log home is truly one-of-a-kind.
