About This Home

As of October 2021

Welcome to this beautiful 3-bed, 2-bath hand scribed, hand-built log home nestled on 20 wooded acres! In addition to the house and oversized 2 car detached garage, this property has a bar/bunkhouse, cabin, and a large sauna. Walking up to the house you will be completely blown away with how beautiful this log home is and the amazing details from the logs that shine inside and out. This home was built with local red pines, aspens, black spruce, yellow birch, and many more from the property itself. Entering inside you are welcomed by the large main level that is an open concept with a living room, reading nook, dining room and kitchen with natural sunlight beaming in. The living room features beautiful natural hardwood flooring, a large stone fireplace you can cozy up to in the cold months, gorgeous views of the private backyard, and is open to the kitchen. The kitchen has a large countertop, plenty of cabinet storage, rock flooring, bar seating, and is open to the large dining area. The dining area has natural hardwood flooring like the living room, has views of the private backyard, and has easy access to the large back double deck. As you make your way up the beautifully curved, hand-built stairs you are brought to the private master bedroom and full bathroom. This bedroom will have you feeling like you are in a treehouse as you are surrounded by the beautiful wood, and you have amazing views of the backyard. The large full bathroom features heated stone flooring, an air tub, a large natural stone shower, large closets, and a private balcony. Bringing yourself to the lower level there are two bedrooms, a family room, laundry room, ¾ bathroom, and plenty of storage space. The lower-level features natural woodwork, heated stone flooring, and access to the backyard. Bringing yourself outside you will love the heated bar and bunkhouse where you can sit and relax in one of the booths, warm up next to the wood stove, hang out at the bar, or retreat to the upper sleeping area which is a great space for when guests come to visit. If you need additional sleeping, you can walk the property a little way to the private one-bed, hand built heated cabin. Enjoy the timber framed, wood fired sauna that has a heated changing area. Throughout the property, there are 2 streams, a fully fenced garden, horseshoe pit, 2 woodsheds, a large storage shed and more. With privacy surrounding you yet close to town; you will not want to miss out on calling this property yours!
