Property Description

Imagine a house built with a rustic charm, standing two stories tall, nestled deep in the rural woods near Lake Thunderbird. This is a home where every plank and beam tells a story, crafted not by professional hands but by a hillbilly whose vision for a "custom home" shines through in every handmade detail.The exterior of the house is all wood, but not the smooth, polished kind you'd expect in a modern cabin. Instead, it’s a patchwork of different kinds of wood—some weathered, some rough-hewn, and some clearly repurposed from old barns or sheds. You can see the craftsmanship in how the boards overlap, sometimes unevenly, as if each piece of wood was just added where it fit. The roof, also wooden, has a rugged look to it, perhaps reinforced with metal sheets here and there to help with leaks. As you step inside, you're greeted by the smell of fresh-cut wood, a scent that lingers because of the constant additions and repairs that seem to be ongoing. The floors creak beneath your feet, made from wide planks that were likely hand-sawn. The walls are made of stacked wood as well—one board laid on top of another—with the occasional knothole or split left untouched, giving the space a rustic, almost rough-around-the-edges charm. Handmade shelves line the walls, each one a bit crooked but filled with personal trinkets, mason jars, and rustic tools that double as decor.
The living room is cozy but eccentric. There’s a fireplace in the corner, built entirely by hand with rocks gathered from the surrounding woods and lakeshore. Above the mantel are fishing rods, antlers, and various taxidermy animals, all proudly displayed. The furniture is mismatched but sturdy, likely hand-built as well, with rough-hewn tables and chairs that look like they were made from logs cut down on the property. Cushions are covered in homemade quilts, with fabric that might have been salvaged from old clothing or curtains.
