A Slice of Wooded Paradise

This exceptional property boasts 10 acres of natural splendor, a sprawling 660' x 660' wooded oasis. But what makes it truly special is that it borders the vast expanse of the Clark State Forestry on both its east and west sides, giving you a sense of privacy and serenity that's hard to find.


The Driveway of Your Dreams

As you make your way through the property, you'll appreciate the attention to detail that has gone into every aspect of this log cabin haven. The 16,000 square feet of paved driveway, freshly sealed and built over a solid road base with filter fabric, ensures that your journey home is as smooth as can be.


A Hunter's Paradise

For the nature enthusiast and hunter, this place is a dream come true. It's a known deer hunter's paradise, with two Whitetail bucks taken within a quarter-mile of the house, both making it to the Indiana Record Book. Whether you're an avid hunter or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of wildlife, this property offers a unique connection to nature.


Lakeside Living at Its Finest

One of the standout features of this property is the serene pond that covers just over 1 acre of land. But it's not just any pond; it's a haven for a variety of fish species including Fathead minnows, Bass, Bluegill, Red-ear, Hybrid Bluegill, and even some Crappie. The largest fish caught here include a whopping 6lb 7oz Bass, a 1lb 9oz Hybrid Bluegill, a 1lb 7oz Red Ear, and a 1lb 11oz Crappie. If you're an angler, you'll find endless joy casting your line into this well-stocked pond.

This isn't just a pond; it's a full lakeside experience. Picture yourself on the 12' x 20' treated covered dock with an insulated metal roof. It's your personal oasis, complete with electric hookups, lights, motion lighting for added security, and even speakers and a satellite TV connection projecting from the house.

And for those days when you reel in a big one, there's a convenient fish cleaning station right by the water's edge.

This pond is more than a fishing spot; it's a place for relaxation and fun. With a maximum depth of 17 feet and a designated spawning area, it's teeming with life. The pond offers lots of cover and structure for fish habitat, ensuring that your fishing adventures are always exciting.

There's also an aeration pump to keep the water oxygenated and a beautiful beach with sand gently sloping down to 8 feet deep. Beneath the sand, you'll find filter fabric and railroad crossties. Plus, there's a handy drain valve to lower the water level to 3 feet if needed.


Fireside Bliss

As the sun sets over your private paradise, gather around the fire pit next to the pond. Roast marshmallows, share stories, and create memories that will last a lifetime. The paver stone patio and cedar bench add a touch of rustic elegance to your outdoor gatherings.


Covered Parking

Your vehicles and equipment are well taken care of with a spacious 24' x 24' carport featuring a sturdy metal roof. You'll appreciate the convenience of electric lighting, a motion-activated light for added security, and full gutters with gutter guards.


Workshops and More

And if you have furry friends, there's even an 8' x 10' fenced dog kennel with a metal roof and a sloping concrete floor.


Endless Possibilities

The 50' x 50' pole barn is equally impressive, with a metal exterior and a stone front that adds a touch of rustic charm. Inside, you'll find roll insulation in all the walls and roof, with blown cellulose insulation that's a foot thick in the finished metal ceiling.

Like the other buildings on this property, it features full gutters and downspouts with gutter guards, ensuring that maintenance is a breeze.


The Log Cabin of Your Dreams

Now, let's talk about the star of the show—the log home itself. Crafted with care and attention to detail, this Heritage Log Homes southern white pine log kit boasts structural rod and tensioning spring technology, ensuring that it stands the test of time.

The 8" round logs create a warm and inviting atmosphere that's perfect for both relaxation and entertainment. And, rest easy knowing that the roof is insulated with spray foam and features an original standing seam metal roof. A second roof was installed to protect against hail dings, and the Pro Metal Roofing metal shake roof shingles come with a 50-year Kynar coating.

The standing seam porch roof adds to the charm of the exterior, while full gutters and downspouts with gutter guards keep everything looking pristine.


Abundant Space

The log home offers ample space with 1239 square feet on the main floor, 1239 square feet in the walk-out basement, and an additional 450 square feet in loft rooms accessible via a charming catwalk. That's a grand total of nearly 3,000 square feet of pure comfort and style.

Step into the basement, and you'll discover a world of comfort. The Radiantec radiant floor heating system ensures that the floors are toasty warm even during the chilliest Indiana winters.

The basement floor has been stained and sealed to perfection, and there's even a "hidden" safe on the floor of one of the basement rooms for your peace of mind.


Unique Touches

This home is filled with unique touches that make it truly special. A 36" concrete pier in the center of the basement supports cedar trees that extend to the ridge beam in the roof, adding a touch of natural beauty to the interior.

Charming Details

Inside, you'll find charming details like 4" x 12" pine stairs with chiseled pockets and no fasteners, only anchor bolts, with a log handrail.

The exterior walls are spray-foamed for insulation, keeping the home comfortable and energy-efficient. The workout room features a commercial-grade rubber floor mat for those who like to stay active.

Masterful Primary Suite

The primary suite is a sanctuary of comfort. Crackle paint on one wall adds character, and the solid pine entry door is a charming touch. Hardwood Hickory random-width flooring creates a warm and inviting atmosphere.
The 4" x 8" exposed beam ceiling with a 1" tongue and groove ceiling/loft floor adds a touch of rustic charm. A cedar-lined closet with a pocket door keeps your clothing organized and protected.
