Into the woods

Located on 30 wooded acres, this property also has a stocked lake and gazebo-style dock to access it, plus a 30-by-40-foot insulated shop across from the home. There are plenty of opportunities to relax and view wildlife without ever leaving the property.

Hardwood flooring and 12-inch logs add beauty to a well-designed layout.

This three-bedroom, three-bathroom home features a living room with gas fireplace enclosed in a stone hearth. Nearby, a recessed custom-built cabinet will hold plenty of entertainment items. The mantle, made of the same 12-inch logs that create the home's interior, coordinates nicely.

The stone wall design used around the foundation reappears at the lower level back facade and retaining wall as well as on an interior lower level wall. Cedar walls also line the lower-level family room, with matching built in cabinets -- one a finished gun cabinet. A full bathroom and bedroom, unfinished storage and a room with roughed-in plumbing for use as another guest suite, add plenty of potential. The existing bedroom has a lake view. The family room also has a wet bar with back-lit mirror and granite counter plus storage cabinets.

The front entrance has a nearby coat closet and bedroom/office. The open concept layout leads to the kitchen and living room with cathedral ceiling enhanced by glass panes that accentuate the triangular shape. French doors access the wrap-around deck overlooking the dock and lake. Railing around the deck is made of cable, enabling a better view of the picturesque setting.

With 30 acres to enjoy, this week's showcase home will appeal to those love who love the great outdoors. (Philip Mayabb ~ pmayabb@semissourian.com)

The kitchen island is an oversized granite 5-by-8-foot shape with Jenn-Air gas range, barbecue and plenty of storage within. Other kitchen features include granite counters, storage above the cabinets, a large wine rack and spacious walk-in pantry. Counter seating around the island offers extra seating in this eat-in kitchen.

The master bedroom on the main level has an adjoining bath and accesses the deck through French doors. Warm terra cotta colored ceramic tiles adorn the bathroom, with special design in the glass-enclosed, oversized shower. A whirlpool bath with window above overlooks the yard. Good planning in this room includes an adjoining walk in closet followed by a utility room with cabinets and fold-up ironing board on the wall.

The loft area, which is open and spacious, can be a bedroom or can be adapted to the homeowner's needs.
