Virtually Staged. Own an authentic log home in Bushnell built from top-tier materials, not a rustic weekend getaway. This roughly 1,700-square-foot home was custom built by the current owner, with exterior logs and framing supplied by Hochstetler Log Homes of Loudonville, OH — an Amish-crafted log home company known for true post-and-beam construction and premium-grade materials rather than a standard production build. That solid-log construction isn’t just for looks: solid log homes performed better in energy efficiency than stick-framed homes despite having less R-value, thanks to the way logs store and release heat through thermal mass, and that same solid construction tends to hold up better against severe weather over the long haul. Inside, the 2-story great room centers on a brick wood-burning fireplace, with cypress ceilings, hard red pine flooring, and tongue-and-groove pine walls giving every room genuine log home character, while the layout itself — 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a den, and 2 upstairs loft rooms — lives like a fully modern home. The primary suite’s ensuite bath was recently remodeled with a jetted corner tub and separate shower. The metal roof, well and septic, and water filtration/softening system were all part of the original construction, completed in 2014, and recent updates include a stove about a year old plus a new refrigerator, washer, and dryer. Outdoor living is just as much a draw here: a spacious covered front deck and the partially covered back deck features a built-in bar overlooking the pasture, and a ground-level covered patio with grill and firepit, there’s plenty of room to entertain a crowd. All 4.8 acres are perimeter fenced, with 1 acre as the homesite and the remaining 3.8 acres in open pasture that’s been used for cattle — plenty of room to add a barn or other outbuildings, and the property already includes a small storage shed and a single carport. A small basement is ready to become a wine cellar or humidor, the rest of the home sits on a crawl space, and propane fuels both heat and cooking. Just off US 301 near downtown Bushnell — the Sumter County seat — with easy access to I-75, this is a rare chance to own a true, premium-built log home on acreage.
