About this home

Here’s your chance to own a piece of paradise! Immaculate 3 bed/2 bath log cabin with bonus room and 1900+ sq ft on 9+ gorgeous acres. All in a very quiet, rural country setting. Whether you enjoy gardening, wood working, back porch sitting or cookouts…you can have it all here!! With a garden spot already in place, you’ll be ready to start planting as soon as warm weather approaches. Or if crafting/wood working is more your style, you’ll love the detached building that has electricity in place and ready for your hobbies. And then after a busy day, slow down and rest awhile in a rocking chair on the back deck or read a book in the front sunroom. You’ll also love the large covered carport area that could double up as the perfect space for large evening cookouts! But if you prefer to just stay cozy inside, you’ll definitely love the warmth and cozy this cabin provides throughout. From the large open kitchen, to the cozy family room and then on to the large bedrooms…you’ll not be disappointed here at 526 River Rd! Snatch it up before someone else does. Home has a brand new roof and hvac! A HUGE added bonus! To top off this phenomenal property, the seller is offering a $10,000 seller credit that can be used towards buying down interest rate, closing costs, etc. with an acceptable offer!
