This log cabin is one of only a few full-scribe log homes in Tampa Bay. This home features a full-scribe log-style design. The logs are stacked horizontally and used to create the exterior walls and many of the interior walls. Each log has a hand-cut groove to cut into its underside so it can be fit and secured to the log below. Full-scribe log homes offer many benefits. One of their advantages is that they are a strong structure and can withstand almost anything Mother Nature throws at them. Full-Scribe log-cabins have been documented to survive many hurricanes, including category 2 Hurricane Ike in Texas. When full-scribe log homes are gasketed properly and fit together with the notches, they are considered very energy efficient. The log walls are considered a finished product and do not require siding, insulation, or drywall. Because of the additional labor and logs required, full-scribe log houses are traditionally the most costly to build. Due to rising labor and material costs, just the building cost for the house would be significantly more than the asking price for the house and land.
This is a unique opportunity for someone to buy an authentic log cabin.
It is situated on 1.5 acres and has 135 feet of lakefront to Lake Burrell. Lake Burrell is a private 24-acre lake. You feel like you're in the country when you're here. You are right at the border of Tampa, Lutz. I don't mean miles but yards when I say you are right on the border. It is less than one mile to 275, giving you easy access all over Tampa Bay. In 20-25 minutes, you can be Downtown Tampa.
When you enter the home, you will immediately notice the detailed millwork and vaulted ceilings as you enter. The large family room is spacious and has a wood-burning fireplace. This exquisite home's interior is mainly made of natural materials. It doesn't contain any made synthetics, drywall, paints, laminate, vinyl, and quartz. The carpet on the second floor is the only synthetic material. This home features a range of real woods and a selection of natural stones for countertops, flooring, and backsplash. The kitchen features more natural elements like a natural stone backsplash and countertop. This kitchen is a delight to cook delicious meals because it has abundant counter space and perfectly framed views of the lake.
The master bedroom is conveniently located on the first floor. In keeping with the theme, the shower is made of travertine river stones. The shower evokes the feeling of flowing water and provides a relaxing and elemental experience. The glass vessel sink sits atop an exotic wood counter.
Your guest house has a full bathroom, bedroom and closet, living area, and kitchenette with sink. The kitchenette is set up for a stove and fridge to be added easily.
There is a bounty of wildlife in the backyard, such as Herons, cardinals, and sandhill cranes are just a few examples of bird species. Additional wildlife found on land include turtles and squirrels.
Lake Burrell is a fishing paradise. Some of the fish species are Largemouth Bass, Lake Chubsucker, Golden Shiner, and Bluegill are all possible. Brook silverside and Florida gar are also common.
If you are looking to start or expand your rental portfolio in one of the hottest real estate markets in the country, this could be a great Air BNB. The property's uniqueness, the variety of activities to enjoy in the backyard, privacy, and proximity to the city and beaches make it a dream vacation home.
