About this home

8541 Buffalo Rd, Poland, IN 47868 19.99 Acres | 2,500 SF Log Home | 3 Bed / 2 Bath | Two Barns | 1 Acre Stocked Pond Tucked into the rolling hills of Owen County, this 2,500 sq ft log home sits on 19.99 private acres minutes from Owen-Putnam State Forest. Rich hardwood flooring flows throughout, creating a warm, cabin-lodge feel against the natural log construction. The main level is built for true single-level living, with 36-inch doorways, a large no-step walk-in shower, and grab bars at the toilet - accessibility that's genuinely uncommon in a log home. An outdoor Hardy wood boiler lets you harvest wood from your own property and keep utility costs low year-round, with propane heat as a backup and an owned tank. City water and high-speed internet round out the utilities. Two outbuildings offer serious storage and workspace: a 44x32 barn with electric, insulation, and concrete floor, plus a 36x51 barn for equipment, toys, or hobbies. The roughly one-acre stocked pond holds largemouth and smallmouth bass, bluegill, redear sunfish, and crappie - a real fishery, not just a farm pond. About 1.3 acres of open pasture and crop ground offers buildable sites, garden space, or food plots, while the wooded balance holds marketable timber and abundant whitetail deer and turkey. Location Highlights: Owen-Putnam State Forest - hardwood timber, trails, excellent deer and turkey hunting Cagles Mill Lake / Lieber SRA - boating, fishing, camping McCormick's Creek State Park - trails, waterfalls, swimming Cataract Falls - Indiana's largest waterfall Spencer - county seat; shops, dining, fairgrounds 20 minutes to I-70; easy access to Bloomington and Terre Haute Cloverdale Community School Corp. All kitchen appliances stay. A tractor, PTO tiller, Kubota UTV, Liberty gun safe, and wood splitter may convey. Homestead, weekend retreat, or recreational tract - nearly 20 acres of privacy and turnkey outdoor living.
