Property Description
Tucked deep into 2.2 peaceful acres, this 2,000+ sq ft log cabin feels like your own private woodland retreat. Built in 1980 and lovingly maintained, it blends timeless craftsmanship with thoughtful updates, including Andersen windows (2018), new doors (2020), and a freshly oiled exterior (2025). Inside, wide oil-stained pine floors, exposed beams, and warm wood walls create an authentic cabin feel. The living room welcomes you with a bow window and a classic Rumford fireplace set against a striking fieldstone wall with built-in wood storage. The open eat-in kitchen features custom cabinetry and an easy, gathering-friendly layout. Upstairs offers three cozy bedrooms and a full bath, while a Vermont wood stove in the basement adds extra warmth on crisp winter nights. Start your mornings on the 8.5' x 26' covered front porch listening to nature, and take advantage of two metal outbuildings (8x10 and 14x26 with overhead door) for tools, toys, or workshop space. Private, quiet, and surrounded by nature - true log cabin living.
