Ever want to live in a log home? You can now! This wonderful log house was built in 2000 as an energy miser home, (which is great in the current economy!), and currently power bills average $70. to $130. a month! Homeowner’s insurance rate is low too, affording you the availability of living 30 minutes from the white sandy beaches of Santa Rosa Beach and Destin, Florida without having to pay the higher homeowner’s insurance rates. Minutes from shopping and town this oasis sits on 5 acres in Woodlawn, a desirable rural neighborhood just outside historic DeFuniak Springs, Florida. With 2 master suites, (one up, one down), both with all cedar baths and closets it also has a large loft that can be used as living space, extra bedroom, (has 4 windows, 2 skylights and a closet), or as a studio which is what it is right now. The open floor plan downstairs allows for easy entertaining or just cozying up with your family. The grounds are carved out of nature around the house with plenty of yard and grass, a vegetable garden and workshop. The yard then just blends into nature and gives you ”country living in a city location”. For nine years everyone who has walked into this place says one word, “WOW”…although the pictures are good, they do not even do this beautiful home justice. This is something you’ve got to see for yourself AND you’ve got a real motivated seller. Come see this dream home and make an offer…It just might be yours!

Best of Two Worlds!

Do you live in or want to live in the Fort Walton Beach or Destin area yet can’t afford the homeowner’s insurance rates in that area?? With this DeFuniak Springs log home on 5.4 acres you can still commute to the beach yet be able to afford your homeowner’s insurance! Our homeowner’s is $1700/yr and we have heard multiple instances of Fort Walton Beach and Destin area homeowner’s insurance going as high as $7,000 to $10,000 a year. A much safer location is DeFuniak Springs than Fort Walton or Destin when the hurricanes blow through and yet the beaches of Santa Rosa Beach, Seagrove, and Destin are all 30 minutes to 45 minutes away! An easy commute if you’re working in Fort Walton Beach or Destin as this property is situated on Hwy 331 South just between Freeport and DeFuniak Springs. The home is 4 miles from Interstate 10 access and minutes from shopping. You know what they say…LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! This one’s got it…Since the listing, a new walkway in the front of the house has been installed, more cedar trim added on the interior, the workshop has a fresh updated look, and the well house is being redone. With it finally getting cooler all is cozy inside this affordable and beautiful log home. Wouldn’t it make just a beautiful Christmas present for YOUR family…God bless! Come see

Your Affordable Living Log Home on the Emerald Coast!

We moved to this 5.4 acres only 30 minutes from the Emerald Coast beach after Hurricane Opal. In 2000 we built this energy miser home with power bills that average $100.00 a month. In this home you can be close enough to enjoy the white sand and green waters of the Gulf of Mexico, (we are right above Fort Walton, Destin and Santa Rosa Beach), and yet be much better off when hurricane season rolls around! Something that has come to our attention lately are the extravagant homeowner’s insurance rates on the beach. We know of two instances of rates going to $7,000 and $10,000 a year with the result of one owner moving to Alabama and the other losing their home! WANT TO STAY IN THIS BEAUTIFUL AREA??

This home is the answer! Our homeowner’s insurance is $1800.00 a year yet we can still enjoy the beach. This property and home is close enough to commute to Fort Walton Beach or Destin so you could keep your job and not have to leave the area because of homeowner’s insurance rate increases. They say it all the time…LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION…is at 185 Forrest Oak Road.
