Properties like this are few and far between! Views of the mountains, frontage on the Catskill Creek and a private location surrounded by more than 23 acres make this a must see!The log home was built with great care and attention to detail that is evident throughout. Taking advantage of great southern exposure, the owner built a home that harnesses and makes use of the power of the sun through passive solar design. In the heart of the home, an impressive 2 story thermal mass of concrete faced with fieldstone harvested from the creek and property, holds and radiates the sun's warmth that streams through skylights and a wall of windows. A cozy wood burning stove supplements and adds even more warmth if desired. Innovative and with efficiency in mind, the owner thought of everything....even a pool that also collects and stores the sun's heat with the extra bonus of having a multi-season lap pool!As one might expect, there is an abundance of beautiful wood in this log home. Deep honey color on the walls and ceilings, oak flooring on the first floor and pine on the second. The primary bedroom and one full bathroom are on the first floor. Upstairs are two smaller bedrooms and another bathroom. A terrific loft space overlooking the first floor below is an added plus for multi-use potential. The living area is inviting, open and spacious. A full basement offers parking for two vehicles plus additional space that can be modified and finished to suit your needs and desires.Outside, the possibilities are endless with over 23 acres of land. Let you mind consider all that you can do with a 20'x40' barn and that much land. The property is mostly fenced in with both flat, level areas and some sloping with frontage on the Catskill Creek.The home feels almost secluded yet is conveniently located with close proximity to so much! Bordering the Town of Durham and just a stone's throw from the hamlets of Oak Hill and Preston Hollow, you'll never lack for things to do: Irish Festivals, Grey Fox Blue Grass Festival, The Zume Flume, flea markets, antiques and more. Windham, with its ski resort is just under 20 minutes away as is the fertile and historic Schoharie Valley. Located near the intersection of 3 different counties, each with their own characteristics and offerings, this home is well positioned for easy travel and commute to the extended area.
