Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1987, this log home is exceptionally well-maintained and features significant infrastructure upgrades like a 42-panel solar array and a high-output generator. However, the interior remains largely dated, with original-style tile countertops in the kitchen and bathrooms, older cabinetry, and carpeted flooring in some bathroom areas. While functional and move-in ready, the property shows signs of its age and lacks the recent comprehensive renovations required for a higher score.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 217800, living area = 3018.
The property is exceptionally self-sufficient with a 42-panel owned solar array, a high-output propane backup generator, and a dual-well system with 5,000 gallons of storage for domestic use and fire protection.
This custom log home features high-quality construction throughout, highlighted by vaulted exposed beam ceilings, a massive rock fireplace, and a modern kitchen with butcher block surfaces and premium stainless appliances.
With over 3,000 square feet of living space, the home only offers two bedrooms, which may limit its appeal to larger families or buyers requiring more private sleeping quarters.
The authentic log exterior and heavily wooded five-acre lot require significant ongoing maintenance and proactive vegetation management to ensure fire safety and preserve the home's structural integrity.
