19.99± Acres | 2,500 SF Log Home | 3 Bed / 2 Bath | Two Outbuildings | Stocked Pond

Tucked into the rolling hills of Owen County, this handcrafted 2,500 sq ft log home offers a rare combination of warmth, craftsmanship, and space, set on 19.99± private acres just minutes from Owen-Putnam State Forest.

Inside, rich hardwood flooring flows throughout the home, complementing the natural log construction and creating a warm, cabin-lodge feel from room to room. With 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, there's plenty of room to spread out, while the classic log-home layout brings a timeless, cozy character that's hard to find in new construction. Heating is handled by a Hardy wood boiler, a highly efficient system that lets you harvest wood right from your own property and keep utility costs low year-round - a feature true homesteaders and self-sufficiency-minded buyers will appreciate. Whether you're relaxing by the fire after a day outdoors or enjoying the quiet of acreage living, this home was built to be lived in, not just looked at.

Beyond the home, the property is just as impressive. Two substantial outbuildings offer serious storage and workspace: a 44x32 barn with electric, insulation, and a concrete floor, plus an additional 36x51 barn for equipment, toys, or hobbies.

Outdoor enthusiasts will love the large, fully stocked pond, home to largemouth and smallmouth bass, bluegill, redear sunfish, and crappie - perfect for a relaxing afternoon on the water right outside your door. The surrounding acreage sees abundant whitetail deer and turkey activity, making this a premier setup for hunters or anyone who enjoys watching wildlife from the porch.
