Very quiet and private 71-acre south-facing acreage only 10–15 minutes from schools, hospital, and downtown, set on a public, well-maintained dead-end road. This park-like setting is a bird and wildlife watcher’s paradise with sweeping valley views, native blooming bushes, and a network of trails ideal for walking, biking, cross-country skiing, and horseback riding. Approx. 12 acres are in south-facing sloping fields, with much of the remaining forest selectively thinned and FireSmart-treated around the home. Property like this is a rare find, this one has owned by the same family for 37 years. The custom-built log home showcases exceptional craftsmanship with piece-en-piece construction and Scandinavian corners. Inside is a bright open-concept layout with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a large covered deck, and a finished bright walk-in basement on 10-inch cement walls with polished concrete floors, extensive storage, wardrobes, and pantry space, plus easy potential for a 4th or 5th bedroom. Additional features include a drilled well, water purification system, underground cistern, oversized septic tank, freezer room, under-deck shop, fenced organic garden, and a 39x60 machine shop on concrete slab with oversized doors.
