About This Home
Original Owner will attest that living here will feel like a DREAM when you return to this 14 acre property from a busy day at work and experience absolute "heavenly peace" both outside and inside this 2006 Custom Log Home with a front porch large enough to hold a dozen rocking chairs and a rear deck providing even more tranquil seating with the usual soft breeze while overlooking beautiful rolling fields. Setting way off of M50 gives perfect privacy you will appreciate!

A long storage/pantry room with many cabinets & the first floor laundry welcomes you from the garage entry.
