Looking for a warm and cozy retreat to call home? This idyllic hand-hewn log home (ca. 1865) with contemporary addition, is situated on 16 acres, right across the road from the beautiful Allan Park Conservation Area. Walk out your front door to lush hiking trails, a stocked fishing pond, and a giant tobogganing hill. Under 10 minutes to the town amenities of either Hanover or Durham; 50 mins to Kincardine; and 2 hrs to Toronto. The seamless mix of contemporary and rustic cabin vibes can be seen in the original footprint?s charming kitchen/dining/living area with exposed logs, clean chinking, jaw-dropping staircase, pine floors, & central woodstove. Upstairs you?ll find a well-sized primary bedroom, with nearby 3 pc bath, a second bedroom, and a sitting room well-sized for a younger family member?s bedroom.
The more recent addition off the kitchen, includes a spacious bedroom with views of the treetops, a 4 pc bathroom, & family room with a large stone propane fireplace. The cozy log cabin vibes offer contrast to the downstairs area that welcomes you into a bright, fully finished walkout basement with rec space, office, and laundry (with oversized SS tub great for pets or projects). Fibre has been installed to provide lightning fast 1 Gbps speed for remote working or streaming movies. The screened-in 3-season sun porch provides the idyllic space to relax taking in the views of the backyard, fire pit and shaded patio deck. If that?s not enough, the detached double car garage is outfitted with a lower shed for all your tools, and a bonus heated and insulated 451 sq ft loft upstairs, great for an office, business, games room or guest suite. This property is currently enrolled in the Managed Forest Tax Incentive Program, allowing you to save approx 40% off your overall property tax bill! Friends, family, or guests will be grateful for the invitation to visit & enjoy your cabin?s history and surroundings. Don?t wait to celebrate the holidays in this Hallmark backdrop!
