This newly constructed log cabin sits on six beautiful acres of land with over five hundred feet of Galien River wrapping around the back of it. The house offers 2400 sq.ft of living space spred out over three floors with three bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms. An 850 sq. ft. custom built deck sits off the back of the house facing the Galien river with an additional 850 sq. ft. screened in porch below. A newly added outdoor Hot Tub helps you to enjoy the Winter months outside while taking in the views from the deck. Why not spend some time finding yourself again.
The house offers all the amenities of home - all you need to bring is the desire to relax. The decorating was done to make you comfortable and avoid that "rental feeling." If privacy is of importance, you can't pick a better place - there are no neighbors within sight and the view from all sides is wooded. If you decide to venture out, you can further enjoy the area by taking a five minute trip to Downtown New Buffalo where the beach is located. Visit the quaint stores, go antique shopping, or just enjoy the many restaurants, cafes, and wineries within minutes from the house. There is even a full service day spa in the downtown area.
If you are looking for active things to do, the area offers Kayak and bike rentals. Take a nice run by the lake or enjoy some of the best rolling hills for bike rides. The New Four Winds Casino is located five minutes away and you are close to Indiana's Lighthouse Outlet Mall. Whittaker Golf coarse is also ten minutes from the house.
