As you enter the long tree lined drive one realizes that there is something special about this setting. You imagine you are driving the kids to a classy summer camp. Slowly driving past the large storage barn and then the sole farm use greenhouse onward over to the left one stops in awe at the majestic and elevated setting and unforgettable view of the stately log home. Not an ordinary home but one that was designed by Confederation Log Homes to be special for the current owners.
