Echoes of Homestead: A Legacy Log Home on 24 Serene Acres
“Echoes of Homestead: A Legacy Log Home on 24 Serene Acres”
Description:
Nestled just 5.6 miles from the Star City Bridge, this remarkable property offers a unique blend of rustic charm and modern convenience, presenting an unparalleled opportunity for the aspiring homesteader or anyone seeking a tranquil, self-sufficient lifestyle. This isn’t just a home; it’s a living story, etched into the very logs that compose its walls and the fertile soil that surrounds it.
The centerpiece is a meticulously crafted real log home, radiating warmth and authenticity. As you wander the approximately 24 acres, you’ll discover a symphony of thoughtful design and practical infrastructure, all harmonizing with the natural beauty of the landscape. A substantial 34’x48′ post and beam barn stands ready to accommodate your agricultural pursuits, whether you dream of raising livestock, storing equipment, or creating a workshop.
Further enhancing the property’s self-sufficiency are three additional outbuildings, each constructed with the same dedication to quality and rustic elegance. A 22’x32′ log garage, topped with a charming saltbox roof, provides ample space for vehicles and storage. Adjacent, a 10’x16′ log shed, also featuring a saltbox roof, offers additional storage or workspace. Perhaps most enchanting is the 6’x6′ log playhouse, complete with a gable roof, inviting porch, and even electricity – a whimsical retreat for children or a unique storage solution.
The property’s history is rich and varied. Once a thriving hub for cattle, horses, chickens, and even a university-funded sheep and goat grazing project, the land bears witness to a legacy of sustainable living. A small pond adds to the charm, offering opportunities for fishing in warmer months and ice skating in the winter.
For those inclined towards poultry farming, a movable chicken house with a 10’x20′ covered pen is included, equipped with an automatic feeder, heated waterer, light-operated entry door, and exterior egg collection – every detail designed for ease and efficiency.
Comfort and practicality are paramount. A whole-house generator ensures uninterrupted power, while three heating sources – a modern high-efficiency gas furnace (with central A/C), electric baseboards, and a wood stove – provide versatile climate control, ensuring warmth and comfort regardless of the weather.
Wildlife abounds, creating a serene and natural environment. A developing Pawpaw orchard promises future harvests, adding to the property’s self-sustaining potential. A gravel road leads to the cleared power line area, granting easy access to the hilltop and a developed spring with a large concrete tank, a remnant of the university project and a valuable water source for livestock.
This property is more than just land and buildings; it’s a canvas for your dreams, a place where the past and future converge. The echoes of its history resonate through the logs and across the fields, inviting you to write the next chapter in its story.
