Welcome to the secluded and serene homestead of 853 Straws Church Road, where privacy, breathtaking mountain views, and endless possibilities come together on a remarkable country property. Built in 2000, this beautiful log home offers 4 spacious bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, first-floor laundry, and an open-concept living and dining area highlighted by soaring vaulted ceilings and a stunning two-story great room featuring a cozy woodstove as its centerpiece. French doors from the dining room open onto one of the home's inviting full-length covered porches, creating the perfect setting for indoor-outdoor living and entertaining. A matching full-length covered porch on the opposite side of the home provides another peaceful space to relax and take in the surrounding scenery. The newly finished daylight lower level significantly expands the home's living space and includes its own private exterior entrance, making it ideal for an in-law suite, guest quarters, home office, or recreation area. Additional features include a mudroom, utility room, and plumbing already in place for a future full bathroom, allowing the next owner to customize the space to their needs. The outdoor amenities are equally impressive. The property includes a two-story, two-car garage, a 40' x 64' equipment shed, a 24' x 48' livestock barn complete with electric service and a feed/tack room, a chicken coop, run-in shed, outdoor riding arena, established garden, and an orchard with mature apple, cherry, peach, and pear trees. Approximately 18 tillable acres, complemented by about 2 acres of fenced pasture ideal for horses, cattle, sheep, or goats, while the remaining acreage offers exceptional privacy, recreation, and wildlife habitat. Beyond the home and outbuildings, enjoy spectacular views of Berry Mountain and Broad Mountain. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, weekend retreat, agricultural property, homestead, or hunting getaway, 853 Straws Church Road delivers unmatched versatility and tranquility. Imagine sipping your morning coffee from one of the expansive covered porches, surrounded by nature, or gathering around the fire pit while taking in panoramic mountain and valley views. The property is enrolled in Pennsylvania's Clean and Green program and was previously qualified for the Pennsylvania Agricultural Conservation Easement Program, offering future owners the opportunity to explore continued agricultural preservation if desired.
