Description
An original, late 1800’s log cabin surrounded by hardwoods is a rare property and a piece of preserved history. Turning off Route 23, a 3000’ road takes you back into a hardwood oasis with the log home nestled in the center of the basin. Completely private and secure, this property is the definition of a country getaway. The original log cabin has been re-chinked, and the other side was added on as a 32’x16’ addition. It has been well-maintained and crafted with meticulous attention to detail. The utilities include electricity, a wood stove as the primary heating source, a water well, and a grandfathered sewer system. Electric heaters are used as the backup heating source to the wood-burning stove. It has a metal roof and two porches, one of which faces the meadow to the west. The rooms include a loft area as a bedroom, a living room, kitchen-dining room, bathroom, family room, and two porches. One of the living rooms could be converted into a bedroom. The timber on the property features mature hardwoods with a significant amount of white, red, and black oak. The property was supposedly timbered about 30 years ago, but this is unverified. There are about 3 acres of tillable acreage for food plots, farming, or gardening. There are two SOG wells on the property with road infrastructure for access. The hunting potential of this property is excellent for whitetails, turkeys, bears and small game. With water, fields, mast-producing timber, and cover, it has everything the wildlife needs to flourish. For ATVs and four-wheeling enthusiasts, the road infrastructure on the property would make for a long day of riding fun. Access to the property is excellent up to the main entrance to Possum Hollow Road. From there, it is about 3000’ of dirt/old gravel road back to the cabin, so a 4WD vehicle is recommended. There is a free natural gas agreement (unverified) from two wells on the property that comes with the purchase, but there is not currently a pipeline from the wells to the cabin or a hookup. Mineral rights are not included.
