CRAWFORD * DAWES COUNTY * NEBRASKA

This rustic handcrafted log home is nestled into the pine covered hills of the Ponderosa Ranch. Situated on a surveyed 13.83 Acres this secluded gem is ideal as a vacation home, luxury hunting camp or year round residence.  Separate guest cabin, outbuildings, fenced garden plot & pond.

The main home was built in 2005 of locally grown, hand selected and peeled Ponderosa Pine logs, constructed with care and lived in with pride.  A private covered porch stretching the length of the home is a favorite place to begin and end the day. The home features an open floor plan with vaulted ceilings showcasing the log rafters. Large windows allow for an abundance of natural light throughout the day. Heated with a massive Kingsman wood burning stove this home is comfortable throughout the seasons.  A sizeable kitchen area features a breakfast bar along with a desk/office nook and full wall of bookshelves to fill with your favorite cookbooks & authors.

A main floor bedroom catches the morning sun and adjoins the shared full bath complete with walk in closet.  The laundry is located along the mudroom/informal entry also on the main floor. Exterior walls are handcrafted pine logs, the interior walls are tongue/ groove pine, and the flooring is solid plank pine throughout. 

The stairway to the loft is accented by a delightful pine handrail and balustrade. The two loft bedrooms have windows with a southern exposure and share a ¾ bath.

This acreage is bounded by a county maintained road and the familiar rock outcrops that define the scenic pine ridge escarpment that threads through the top three counties of the Nebraska panhandle.

Roomy enough for horses or a couple of cows and maybe chickens this hidden homestead graces the entryway of the Ponderosa Ranch, one of the scenic, working guest ranches in western Nebraska.

There is a smaller guest cabin, with a kitchenette, ¾ bath and private deck to view the scenery.  Numerous outbuildings support the cabins. There is a fenced garden plot to grow your own greens plus a pond that ebbs and flows with the seasons. Nearby in a wall of sandstone is an old hand dug cave, framed for a door that has been lost to history, possibly a homestead dwelling or maybe a moonshiner hideout.
