(695) Irv (Gibby) Goodlet had always wanted to build an authentic log cabin. Although he was in his eighties, he did not give up the dream and he began the project in earnest. He had planted trees with his father on the home property when he was about 14. Now that the trees had grown to maturity, he was able to cut and haul the logs to the building site he had cleared. The logs were then hand-hewn. He saddle notched the logs and made the cedar shingles himself. Gibby's craftsmanship is evident in the details, inside and out, which include the intricate pattern of the shingles, wood hand-made door latches, a roofed hammock stand, the entry porch with stonework, the field stone fireplace, hand-made wood doors and kitchen cabinets, hand-laid wood doors. In the kitchen there is a working antique wood cook stove that reminds you of warmth and family and home cooked meals. There is an electric stove for day to day cooking. The dining area includes a table invitingly set with a country red checked table cloth. On the main level, there are two bedrooms featuring sparkling chandelier lights. The living room is open to the ceiling, adding light and space. The fireplace is the focal point and it was made of hand picked stone from the land and the chimney extends through the open portion of the upper level. The wood mantle declares: "Home is where the hearth is". There is a bath on the main level that features a claw foot tub. A bath on the upper level serves the bedroom upstairs and an open loft sitting/reading/extra sleeping area. There is an open area between the bedroom and open loft that overlooks the living room. A back entry way gives additional storage place. The main entry into a foyer welcomes you into the warmth and beauty of this unique log home. The porch entry has stonework sides and large planters made of stone. Just beyond the main entry is a roofed log hammock stand also crafted by Gibby. Here you can relax in the shade on a summer day and read, nap, or just listen to the sights and sounds of nature surrounding you. This is a great opportunity to own a custom constructed log cabin with three bedrooms plus an extra sleeping area, two baths, conventional septic system, tucked off East Side Road on about 9 acres of woodland. $295,000.
