Columbia County Log Home on 8 Acres: $550K

  |  November 22, 2024

All log cabins are not the same; some—like today’s house—resemble traditional, stick-built homes in their size and shape.

This Columbia County log home on eight acres has three bedrooms and two baths within 1,768 square feet of coziness.

The porch, with its stripped-log pillars, gives off Slabsides vibes.

The house was built in 1970. There’s definitely a retro feel to the place, starting with the O.G. Early American-upholstered furniture in the living room.

Thick log beams crisscross the room above a brick fireplace.

The kitchen’s counters are vintage, too.

Ah, burnt orange and avocado green—all the ingredients for a nostalgic episode of The Brady Bunch (in a good way). This 1970s ethos is either a love-it-or-hate-it scenario for the new owner.

Potential renovations notwithstanding, the home’s solid bones are inherent. A freestanding wood-burning stove keeps the dining-area corner cozy.

The primary bedroom has gray wall-to-wall carpeting; thick logs overhead; and the cutest, tiled pink-and-blue bathroom.

A mauve carpet is underfoot in this smaller bedroom.

Pressboard-look walls are in this hall bath, with a terracotta tile floor and a wide, single-sink counter above burled-wood cabinetry.

We really appreciate how many trees went into building this home. That shiny, c.1970s paneling? Not so much.

A redwood-painted deck runs across half of the back of the house.

This backyard shot shows off the Lincoln-Log corners of the house.

Just north of the hamlet of Pine Plains, the property is near the junction of New York, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. It’s under an hour from the beautiful Berkshires.
