Property details
About 161 Lost Forty Rd
Imagine waking to the soft chorus of birdsong as sunlight filters through budding maple, birch, & pine —your log home’s knotty-pine interiors warmed by a gentle morning breeze. You step onto the porch with a steaming mug in hand, inhale the forest’s fresh scent, & watch wildflowers carpet the forest floor. Weekends mean exploring nearby hiking/biking trails, discovering hidden waterfalls. Summer brings endless days of sunshine dancing across the lake’s surface just a short drive away. Inside, the lofty cathedral ceiling fills with golden light, perfect for lazy afternoon reading or hosting friends around the firepit. Your workshop hums with weekend projects—perhaps refinishing furniture or tuning your mountain bike—while evenings unfold with barbecues under the canopy of stars, the log beams glowing amber in the firelight. Autumn is a painter’s dream: fiery reds and golds blaze across every tree. You bundle up for crisp morning walks, the crunch of leaves underfoot, and inhale the smoky tang of bonfire season. Back indoors, your walk-out basement’s cozy family room beckons—board games laid out, the sauna heats muscles tired from trail runs, & the home office glows with warm lamplight. When winter arrives, the landscape transforms into a quiet, snow-blanketed wonderland. Mornings start beside frosted windows, followed by snowshoe adventures & cross-country skiing through your own backyard. After, you return to thaw in the sauna, curl up in the loft with a blanket, & watch the snowfall drift past your log walls—secure, serene, & utterly yours, in every season.
