"There is no remedy for love but to love more." - Thoreau. One might say the same about country living: once you've had a taste of it, you'll only want more. Tucked on just over 11 acres of trees, trails, and endless fresh air, this 2-bedroom, 1 bath log bungalow is as charming as it is practical - an irresistible mix of rustic character and modern updates.From the outside, you'll notice the handiwork of Keeley Log (2023), where the home's logs were painstakingly refinished and rechinked - preserving that timeless warm aesthetic while ensuring decades of durability. Recent investments make this property worry-free: a metal roof (2021), furnace (2021), AC (2024), windows (2024/25), and a whole-home generator (2023) stand ready for peace of mind in all seasons. Starlink internet keeps you connected, though you might prefer to disconnect as you wander the private trails winding through your own forest - a foragers dreamscape of wild berries, mushrooms, and quiet discovery. Inside, the style is delightfully quirky, mixing the rustic backdrop of logs with thoughtful modern comforts. The kitchen, updated with induction cooktop, double oven, and 2024 appliances, invites both experimentation and family feasts. The unfinished basement, already boasting a walkout door, offers ample potential: imagine a guest suite, studio, or workshop carved into the space. Step outside to the deck, shaded with a gazebo. Out the back of the house, you overlook a backdrop of no rear neighbours - only the hush of nature. Two storage sheds and an oversized two-car detached garage (built c.2010) ensure room for tools, toys, and projects. This is not just a home but a lifestyle: woodsy solitude paired with comfort, adventure paired with ease. A place where you can follow a winding trail, then return to the glow of the log walls and the hum of modern convenience.
