| 19 Aug 2015 | 11:29

— Hike, bike, walk, fish, or hunt on your secluded estate. A mile-long private road leads to this custom log home in the middle of 500-plus wooded acres. Two streams run through this peaceful paradise.

But you wouldn’t be roughing it. This home is upscale, with hardwood and slate floors throughout. The modern custom kitchen has stainless steel appliances. You will find a master bedroom on the first level, with two bedrooms upstairs that feature three built-in double beds.

Besides the skylights that let in natural light, you will find wide staircases leading up to the second level and down to the finished basement, which makes a great family room and includes a safe room. Enjoy the soapstone fireplace, the heated front porch, and the oversized three-car garage built in the same style as the house.

There is a mud room and a laundry room. This home is also equipped with a backup generator, central air conditioning, and satellite reception, and is internet-ready.

And another definite plus: the property adjoins game lands not in development.
