Property Description

Tucked away down a private lane behind the renowned Link Observatory, this extraordinary log home rests atop a secluded 23-acre hilltop retreat. What began as a humble cabin has been lovingly expanded over decades by the owner, using timber harvested right from the land itself-making this home truly one of a kind. Step inside to find rich hardwood floors and handcrafted details at every turn. Each room reveals its own personality, from the cozy nooks to the sun-drenched solarium that fills the home with warmth and natural light. The spacious kitchen showcases Amish-made cabinetry, dual sinks, and abundant counter space-ideal for meal prep, entertaining, or gathering with friends and family. At the heart of the home lies the stunning great room-an entertainer's dream-featuring soaring vaulted ceilings, a dramatic wood-burning fireplace, and a custom-built bar perfect for gatherings. Three additional freestanding wood stoves add both warmth and rustic charm throughout the home. The main-level primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with an ensuite bath, a generous walk-in closet connecting to a private office or secondary bedroom, and direct access to the outside.

The elevated setting offers breathtaking views that rival any mountain cabin-panoramic fall foliage, spectacular sunsets, and even distant fireworks on clear nights.
