Check out this beautiful, Appalachian-style log cabin nestled in a quiet valley with a rocky creek cascading by just off the front porch! This cabin was hand-built by the previous owner who is an expert in the construction of this style of cabin. The rectangular tall logs were actually harvested from the property and expertly dried down to ensure tight fits and minimum cracking. The covered front porch offers plenty of space to kick off your boots or to sit and enjoy the sights and sounds of the nearby creek. The cabin is truly “off-the grid” with the power derived from solar panels and a modern battery storage area with inverters to store the power until needed. The water is collected via rainwater runoff into an underground storage tank, which allows for on-demand water for showering, sinks and toilet use. The large living area is next to the open kitchen and has a free standing wood-burning stove for warming and story-telling. The large back bedroom is big enough for several beds or bunk beds. There is an open nook area off the living room that is currently used for guest sleeping with bunk beds. The spacious bathroom has all the comforts of home. The property is located on both the north and south sides of Vernon Ridge Road with the majority being on the north side. There is a great trail system that leads up through the valley to the northeast behind the cabin to get to the furthest points of the property with several forks in the road taking you up the side hill tops. There is a nice, small pond located in the middle of the north portion of the property offering a perfect watering hole for the resident deer and turkeys. There are some very nice early succession thickets on the ridge tops along with an even distribution of cedar thickets all offering great cover and diversity. The past rut sign was evident with numerous rubs and scrapes still super-obvious and the deer trails were marked heavily with tracks. From the large number of secondary ridges leading up and down from the 2 primary ridgetops behind the cabin, there could be dozens of stand sites to choose from. In fact, there are many permanently built wooden stands that the previous owner has in place in some of the best converging trail areas. Along the road to the southwest corner of the property is a tillable field of approximately 1.25-1.5 acres. With some screening planted along the edges to hide the field from the road, this could be put into a great food-plot area to help provide some nearby sourcing for your wildlife. The area has produced some very high scoring bucks and this property will set up well to be managed for quality hunting. There is definitely some great potential here to own and manage for top-end whitetails! Throw in some best-in-the-state turkey hunting, and you have the making for the perfect hunting get-away. Please call to arrange your own private showing.  Shown by appointment only.
