A beautiful log home about 23 miles east of Meeker, on the Buford-Newcastle Road, with spectacular views overlooking the White River Valley.  From most anywhere on this very private 3 acre paradise, and from the decks & sun room on the north side of the home, there are awesome views of Lake Avery, Oak Ridge, the White River National Forest, Sleepy Cat Peak, down river to the west and up river to the east.  To the east you see Buford Peak and the Flat Tops Wilderness Area up the South Fork of the White River.  These are truly "million dollar views" from this property.

The landscaping on this property is immaculate and lush with many flower gardens and lots of trees.  The property is surrounded by Aspen and pine tree forests.

The home was built in 1996.  The exterior walls are 6 inch by 8 inch D logs built on the outside of an insulated 4 inch thick frame wall.  This provides a very tight and efficient outer shell for this very cozy large home.  There are approximately 2,516 square feet of living space on the main level, plus the 480 sq ft sun room and the decks & porches, and 2,340 square feet of finished space in the walk-out basement.

The spacious kitchen and dining room have oak floors and golden oak cabinets and a breakfast bar between them.  A sliding patio door opens from the dining room into a covered sun porch with windows overlooking the White River Valley and doors on either end opening onto the corner bedroom open decks.

The large living room is on the southwest corner of the home and has a vaulted ceiling, lots of windows, a big wood burning fireplace and a door opening out to the yard on the west side of the home, where the firewood storage shed and basketball court are located.

The master bedroom is on the northwest corner of the home.  It has a bay window and window seat, a Vermont Castings wood burning stove, a sliding patio door opening onto it's own deck and a big master bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub and walk-in double closets.

Through the kitchen, on the southeast corner of the home is an atrium room with a big hot tub, ceramic tile floor, a wood ceiling, a bay window and window seat, and a patio door opening out on to the covered front porch.

Down the hallway from the dining room is a full bathroom and then a bedroom on the northeast corner of the home with a patio door opening out onto it's own deck overlooking the valley and the north and east, beautifully landscaped, yards.

From the dining room, a stairway leads down into the full finished walk-out basement, which has a large family room, two corner bedrooms, a full bathroom, a big office & library room, a workout room, and a 7 foot by 24 foot storage and freezer room, much like a cellar, with concrete walls, floor and ceiling.  From the family room a patio door opens outside onto an exposed aggregate concrete patio, which is covered by the main level sun room, and has a garden pool & fountain, and more lush landscaping.  The basement walls and ceiling are tongue & groove Aspen wood.

In the workout room is a big closet with the gas fired hot water boiler for the, very efficient, in-floor radiant heating system.  The boiler also heats the quick recovery "side arm" tank for the hot water to the home.  Also in the closet is the pressure tank and pump that brings water to the house from the 1,000 gallon water storage tank, which is filled by the well on the east side of the home.

Southwest of the home is a 24 foot by 36 foot, log, three car garage with a nice work shop above it.  Besides the 10 foot by 20 foot firewood storage shed there is another 14 foot by 38 foot open faced storage shed, great for vehicles, snowmobiles, etc..

This beautiful property is accessible year around.  The county plows the snow on County Road 17 past this driveway for about another mile to where there is a parking lot for snowmobilers to unload and head up the Buford Newcastle road into the White River National Forest.  The recreational opportunities are wonderful all around this property.  Excellent hunting and fishing, and any other recreating you may want to do in the beautiful White River country.
