Welcome to the good life. Have you ever dreamed of living in a custom log home located on a private fenced lot, surrounded by trees, raised vegetable beds and only a few minutes? drive or cycle to the iconic Bay of Fundy? This exquisite new log home with its picturesque red metal roof was crafted by Heartwood Log Homes in 2022 and is designed for sustainable living. 5.06 Kw of solar panels on the south-facing roof bring power bills to a minor expense, while inside the eye-catching auburn Pacific Energy wood stove and Mitsubishi heat pump mean that comfort is a way of life. Warm to the touch compared to conventional builds, log homes have thermal mass, a natural property that helps to keep inside temperatures comfortable in all seasons and allows the log walls to collect and store energy, radiating it back inside. Rustic, peaceful and 20 to 30% more efficient than typical builds, this home is also high tech and perfectly laid out. An open-concept main floor features a well-equipped kitchen and living area with examples of fine craftmanship at every turn, including the cathedral ceiling. A two-piece bathroom and a main-floor bedroom with closet complete this level. A handcrafted staircase with branch-like spindles and balustrade brings you to the second level, featuring the large primary bedroom with its walk-in closet and hand-scribed timbers overhead. An additional room serves as an office/music room that could easily be converted into a third bedroom. A three-piece bathroom completes this level. All the LG appliances are new and rated high efficiency, the home is wired for fiber-op and for a back-up generator in case of power outages, and the 6-foot-high, heated/insulated crawl space, accessed from outside, has excellent storage room. Minutes from walking trails, Margaretsville beach and waterfall nature preserve, Kingston/Greenwood and all the riches that the Annapolis Valley has to offer ? orchards, vineyards, fields and forests ? this home is a gem.
