A San Antonio property may be an ideal fit for the homesteader who thinks Green Acres is the place to be.
Located just outside Loop 1604 in Alamo Ranch, the home and its surrounding 10 acres hit the market this spring for $650,000, offering a potential buyer the chance to experience country life without sacrificing the benefits of the city.
However, the future owner would have to commit to a rustic aesthetic, since the entire 3,074-square-foot dwelling is a log cabin with interior wood paneling.
The three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home sits on fenced-in forestland replete with wildlife and a seasonal creek, according to its property listing. The large front porch, the composite back deck and the in-ground pool and spa all offer views of nature.
Though it may look like it was built before the Battle of the Alamo, the house was constructed in 1990, according to the listing. So along with a wood-burning fireplace, the owner can enjoy the modern comforts of a dual-zone HVAC system.
Keeping things country, the home has a standing seam metal roof that was just installed two years ago.
The original owner was the late E. Wayne Campbell, a prominent city attorney, cyclist and avid outdoorsman who built the log home himself in 1990, according to the listing agent and Campbell's obituary. Outbuildings on the property include a large shop, where he worked on tractor engines and other projects with his sons.
After the passing of Campbell and his wife Melissa, the house remained in the family. Now members are ready to sell and recently accepted an offer, according to listing agent Nicholas Grimaldi with Welcome Home Real Estate.
