5.05 acres in Licking County, OH

Opportunity is knocking. The seller's circumstances have created a rare window on this one-of-a-kind property, appraised at $600,000 in November and priced for someone ready to seize it. A new roof, new front and back doors, and a new 3-stage water filtration system mean the big-ticket items are already handled. Old-world craftsmanship meets warm, versatile design in this Amish-built log cabin by Fairview Log Homes of Millersburg. Wide-open green space and a serene, tree-lined pond set the tone for a peaceful getaway. Inside, a spacious open floor plan, handcrafted wooden beams, and a Buck Stove with blower glowing in a stone hearth create an atmosphere you won't want to leave. The kitchen is full of character -- original cabinetry offers nostalgic charm today's builders can't replicate. The first-floor primary bedroom tucks privately off the main living space for the quiet you crave. Upstairs, an open loft/bedroom flexes to your family's needs, alongside a bedroom and full bath. There's still more to discover. The full finished basement -- with its own wood-burning stove and walk-out access -- is a blank canvas: a third bedroom, an entertainment area, a home gym, or whatever fits your lifestyle, backed by generous closets and wall-to-wall shelving. Outside, the excitement continues. A sweeping wraparound porch and newly refinished 28' x 20' deck put front-row seats on the pond and mature trees -- perfect for gatherings and quiet evenings alike. The oversized garage brings built-in shelving and workspace, while the two-story barn -- power and concrete floor included -- suits equipment, hobbies, or a workshop. Even the extras impress: a corn crib holds about three months of firewood, and the milk house offers possibility beyond its original use. Just 2 minutes from the village of Johnstown, OH -- with local shopping and restaurants -- and 15 minutes from New Albany, Alexandria, Sunbury, and Granville. Opportunities like this don't come around often.
