NEW PRICE at land value! Build your custom home while residing in this modest cabin with exquisite, multi-million-dollar custom homes as your neighbors. Welcome to 712 Mallard Drive, an exceptional five-acre parcel tucked within the equestrian community of Seminole Estates, where rustic architecture, remarkable privacy and boundless potential come together in one of the community's most coveted locations. Set along sought-after Mallard Drive, this property enjoys an extraordinary backdrop that few homes can ever replicate. Bordering the vast Black Bear Wilderness Area, the rear property line opens to hundreds of thousands of acres of protected natural landscape, creating an unrivaled sense of space, privacy and permanence. With the wilderness trailhead located just down the street, hiking, horseback riding, wildlife viewing and endless outdoor recreation become part of everyday life. Behind a private gated entry and at the heart of the property, the authentic log cabin captures the warmth and character that only natural timber construction can provide. Soaring cathedral ceilings accented by exposed wood beams create an impressive sense of volume, while wood plank ceilings and rustic finishes establish an atmosphere that feels both inviting and timeless. The three-bedroom, two-bath floor plan offers comfortable everyday living while preserving the cabin's distinctive architectural appeal. The kitchen is surprisingly spacious for this cozy 2,000-square-foot residence and the oversized front and back porches create perfect spaces to take in the quiet and scenic surroundings. Beyond the existing residence, the true opportunity lies in the land itself. Five usable acres provide exceptional flexibility to create the estate you've envisioned. Whether expanding the current home, constructing a new luxury residence, adding detached garages, workshops, barns, stables, guest accommodations or creating a premier equestrian property, the possibilities are as expansive as the setting. Complementing the property's future potential, newly completed multi-million-dollar custom homes next door reinforce the long-term desirability and value of this exceptional location. A newly installed private gated entrance creates a memorable arrival while enhancing privacy and security. Private well and septic utilities further add to the property's appeal by providing independence from municipal services and helping keep ongoing utility costs remarkably low. Rarely does a property offer the opportunity to enjoy the character of an authentic log cabin today while providing the land, location and surrounding values to create an extraordinary legacy estate for tomorrow. At 712 Mallard Drive, nature becomes your backyard, privacy becomes your lifestyle and the possibilities are limited only by your imagination.
