Description

What a wonderful way to enjoy life sitting on your wraparound porch looking straight into Table Rock and Shortoff mountains. Once you exit off the main road, you'll have to ford a creek to begin the experience of mountain life. This 2 bedroom (1 bedroom in the loft area) and 3 bath log home is located atop of a secluded mountain vista with over 7.5 acres of land, and a two-car detached garage. This property has over 250 feet of Russells Creek frontage, mature timber and many areas to hunt.
