At $379, 900 the price includes the cabin and 12.47 acres. This lovely Amish-built log cabin is situated on a quiet, heavily wooded lot in Elizabeth, Indiana. The cabin was built in 1986 by using time-tested techniques and quality, lasting materials. It features a classic log construction combined with very functional details that make the cabin comfortable for either year-round use or seasonal getaways. The mature trees and gentle hills around the house will offer you almost total privacy. Still, being accessible enough for everyday living or weekend escapes.
The exterior of the cabin is a showcase of real Amish log work. The thick, evenly sized logs are carefully notched and fitted which results in sharp shadow lines and an appearance that is at once beautiful, strong, and lasting. There is also a wide covered porch that runs along the side of the cabin.
It not only shelters the outdoor space but also adds a very nice touch to the house’s facade. This is the place where you can have your morning coffee or evening quiet while looking out over the land. The overall concept is very natural and environmentally friendly.Actually, the small size of the cabin means that there will still be plenty of space on the property for gardens or outdoor projects.
The vaulted ceilings inside the open living area bring in a feeling of volume and brightness. The fireplace, which is the most prominent feature, will be the natural focal point. Heating and ambiance are, therefore, guaranteed on those chilly nights. Besides, the large windows have a great view of the surrounding trees and they let in plenty of natural light from the sun all day long. Hence, the interior looks very bright and inviting. Also, the simple layout that is without any partitions connects the living, dining, and kitchen areas and the resultant space flows extremely well and gives an impression of a larger area than what is actually available.
The kitchen is located at one end of the main room and is put together quite cleverly. The hardwood cabinets and work surfaces are durable and provide a lot of room for various kitchen work activities. Meanwhile, the arrangement ensures that the cook is not isolated and can easily remain in touch with the rest of the room. Moreover, the light that streams through the windows brightens the kitchen thoroughly while the open plan makes it possible to carry on a conversation or to follow what is happening in the living room even as you prepare a meal. In fact, the kitchen can easily handle the pressures of every day use and not only the occasional weekend.
The bedroom on the main floor is more attractive in that it offers foyer single-level sectionlving comfort. With the advantage of easy access, the bedroom has a closet and the bathroom nearby. The bedroom can be both private and spacious, with natural light and peace making a bed suitable for sleep by facilitating the latter. A complete bathroom is comfortably equipped for regular use with contemporary fixtures and good water pressure. The small but efficient design of the cabin lets the ground floor operate smoothly whether it serves as a permanent home or a holiday house.
Heading upstairs, you have three more bedrooms offering various space arrangements for sleepers. The first bedroom at the far end of the corridor is the biggest. It also has the most privacy and comes with two large closets in addition to a serene, raised location. All the bedrooms are comfortable and have light and tranquility that facilitate sleep. The balcony-like corridor adds to the space feeling without detracting the separation of the bedrooms. This is a great solution for anyone that likes family living but at the same time, personal privacy.
Besides the cabin, 12.47 acres feature a combination of open clearing, young hardwood forest, and a few mature trees. There are several internal paths that meander slowly through the property from one clearing to the other. They also run through the wooded pockets where the wildlife activity is very high. The mainly flat to gently rolling landscape is therefore perfect for walking either just for fun or with some light equipment. If you want to watch deer or simply enjoy the change of the seasons from time to time, these different spots provide an excellent vista. Two storage areas are available for non-household items such as tools, appliances, or recreational gear.
Seasonal changes bring a different look and feel to the property, leaving the owners and visitors with a fresh and compelling experience every time. Green undergrowth and fresh flowers in the spring; deep shade under the canopy in the summer; brilliant shades of red, orange and gold in the fall; wider views and peaceful silence intervened only by the infrequent sound of frost crunching in the winter. Each of these changes is experienced from the front porch or the trails. By doing so, the land is not only kept alive but also forever changed.
