The nearly two acre property provides your own private access to the Farmington River, a local treasure for outdoor recreation. Did you know that log homes are incredibly long lasting? European log and timber homes are still in use that date back more than 800 years. Did you know they are incredibly energy efficient? The thermal mass quality of log walls helps keep homes comfortable in all seasons. As beautiful as the interiors of log built homes are to the eyes, they are also to the touch. Arguably, no one connects with their home like log home owners do! And as rustic as the home looks and feels, enjoy the modern amenities of a granite kitchen with stainless steel appliances, attached two car garage, modern laundry equipment, and a generator hook-up. This home features hardwood floors, including the beautiful wide plank flooring of the cathedral ceiling family room with field-stone fireplace. A massive dining room is adorned by a brick fireplace and will accommodate large gatherings. The living room features french doors leading to a balcony that overlooks the river. A large covered and screened deck is accessed off the family room and is perfect for summer evenings. The master bedroom suite features its own fireplace, full en suite bath, and sitting room that acts as a loft space over the family room. This home is complete with walk-out basement! A must see!
