Description

Some homes tell a story the moment you arrive, and this gorgeous 3-bed, 1.5-bath log home on 4.71 acres speaks of simpler times, where abundant wildlife, privacy, and the freedom to embrace a homestead lifestyle come together with the tranquility of country living. Located in Forest Park III, there is a Property Owners Association (POA) that maintains the roads but this is not a traditional Homeowners Association, and there are no typical HOA-style restrictions on the property. Horses, donkeys, cows, goats, sheep, and all types of fowl are allowed. This charming property features a 2025 hand pump well, 2024 A/C system, 2016 aluminum roof, and detached 2-car garage with an adjoining pole barn. A long covered front porch offers plenty of room for rocking chairs, inviting you to slow down and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature. Step inside, where soaring ceilings, exposed timber beams, and warm natural wood create the timeless character that makes log homes so special. The main level flows comfortably from the living room into the expansive kitchen and sunlit dining room, creating a welcoming gathering place for family and friends. A versatile Florida room extends the home's functional space, offering flexibility for work, relaxation, or hobbies. Off the kitchen, a large storage room provides convenient organization and connects to the dedicated laundry area and inviting back porch. Completing this floor is a main-level guest bedroom and half bath. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms share a full bath, including a primary bedroom with sweeping views of the countryside. Outside, the possibilities are endless with room for gardens, livestock, outdoor entertaining, or simply relaxing beneath the stars around a crackling bonfire. Located just minutes from Archer and approximately 20 minutes from Gainesville, this property offers the serenity of rural living while keeping the shopping, dining, entertainment, and amenities of Gainesville within easy reach.
