Property Description

This handcrafted log cabin nestled on 1.3 acres along the banks of the White River, offers direct river access for fishing, private kayak or canoe put in. The owner of this 2 bedroom with 1 full bath home took great pride in restoring and maintaining the log home and the natural beauty of the grounds. The cabin is made from hand hewn poplar logs 12" wide and 6" thick. Inside, enjoy the beautiful ash hardwood floors and wood plank ceilings throughout. Warm yourself by the wood stove. Outside, enjoy peaceful evenings around the firepit in the meditation garden and the sights and sounds of nature all around you. Take in the amazing view of the river from the large wrap around wood deck.

Grow your own garden, harvest your peaches, pears, apples, paw-paws, cherries, walnuts, chestnuts, raspberries and blueberries. Native birds are frequent guests, with a nesting pair of bald eagles known to reside just up the river. A charming barn is perfect for small livestock and a chicken coop adds to the homestead appeal, creating a readymade minifarm.
