THE MAIN HOME: This log cabin was built and has been maintained as one the premier properties in southeast Kansas. The exterior features a wonderful combination of pine logs and expertly laid Kansas limestone pillars and retaining walls. As you pull up to the circle drive at the front of the cabin you quickly get a sense of the craftsmanship and precise vision that went into the construction of this home. Immediately upon entering the front door, you are engulfed in the classic white pine from floors to ceiling, including the large beams used to frame out the northern wall of windows and french doors leading to the full-length deck and overlooking the pond. Rustic pine floors run throughout the living space and provide a cozy atmosphere around the built-in gas fireplace. The open concept leads directly to the granite island in the kitchen and the dining area.

Just off of the kitchen is the first of the two large master suites, complete with natural light emanating from the windows and a large bath area that includes double vanities and the laundry. This suite also has plenty of closet space and the feel of a mountain retreat.
