About This Home
Log cabin dreams do come true! Homes rarely hit the market here, and a log home? Even rarer. This amazing all-electric beauty delivers the rural lifestyle buyers crave, starting with a peaceful deck where you can relax to the sound of a natural rock water feature. Step into your backyard and you're instantly connected to Forest Service land, with a short stroll to Cannel Creek. Mornings are quiet, views are pure mountain magic, nature is one of your neighbors, and you get to enjoy all four seasons the way they were meant to be enjoyed. Ownership includes a share in the private water company (great rates!) plus access to Bubbles Beach on the Kern River-and yes, there's an outdoor shower waiting for you after a day on the river. Even better? With the right offer, most furnishings stay, making this an easy move-in or turnkey getaway. And if you need a second bathroom there is plenty of room in the large main bedroom to add one later. Riverkern. Log home. Creek, River, Forest Service Land, and Community. Miss this one and you'll be waiting a long time for another.
