Welcome to a truly exceptional country retreat in Chautauqua County, a breathtaking blend of natural beauty, custom craftsmanship, and peaceful privacy on 81 acres of richly diverse land.  Upon approach, a long private driveway winds past a row of stately pine trees, leading to a circular drive where you're greeted by a magnificent two-story barn, built in 2011. Measuring an impressive 66' x 44', the barn features a heated workshop, concrete floors, and is thoughtfully positioned on a fully engineered and elevated stone pad with a striking rock wall façade that complements the natural surroundings. Whether for storage, equipment, projects, or events, this barn is a functional and architectural highlight of the property.  Adjacent to the barn, a charming two-door potting shed awaits, offering the perfect setup for gardeners and outdoor enthusiasts.  At the heart of the property sits a gambrel-style custom log home offering 1,664 sq ft, 4 bedrooms, and 2 full baths. The home is thoughtfully designed with rustic charm and functionality. On the east side, a spacious deck provides panoramic views of the meadow and pond, while the west-facing covered porch and main entrance greet you with a natural log banister staircase, leading upstairs and welcoming guests with warmth and style.  Surrounding the home and pond are peaceful 8-acre meadows, bursting with wildflowers, native grasses, and pollinator plants, creating a sanctuary for bees, butterflies, and songbirds. The tranquil pond with its own private beach adds a magical touch-perfect for lounging, swimming, or simply taking in the northern vistas of vibrant fall colors and clear, starry night skies.  Behind the home lies a magnificent 67-acre hardwood forest, professionally evaluated by a licensed forester with an estimated $49,000 in timber value. This timber stand includes mature hardwoods, gently rolling terrain, and a riverine habitat, offering incredible opportunities for hiking, hunting, wildlife observation, or sustainable forestry.  Located just minutes from Cassadaga Lake, local vineyards, and area attractions, this property is ideal for anyone seeking a recreational retreat, private residence, or long-term investment in the natural beauty of Western New York.
