Surrounded by mature trees on 1.25 acres in the Village of Michiana, Wilder Woods is a custom log home by Larry Booth of Booth Hansen. With handcrafted Maple Island logs, a Rumsford fireplace, and three finished levels, the home opens to a private backyard anchored by a heated pool, full cabana, hot tub, and sport court for pickleball and basketball. Screened porches and a firepit gathering area create an atmosphere that’s as welcoming outside as it is indoors.

At the heart of the home, a dramatic great room is framed by exposed beams and a two-story stone fireplace. Oversized windows draw the landscape in, while deep sofas and rich textures make this a favorite space for both conversation and quiet. The adjacent kitchen is equipped with high-end appliances, dual dishwashers, and a wide island for meal prep and serving. A separate office with built-in shelving offers a private workspace. On the lower level, an entertainment lounge includes a classic Pac-Man game and casual seating for movie nights or card games.

Bedrooms are spread across all three floors, each with its own character and wooded views. From the primary suite to the bunk room below, the layout works well for families, multi-generational groups, or friends traveling together.

Main Level Primary Bedroom: King bed + ensuite bathroom

Second Level Bedroom 2: King bed + daybed Bedroom 3: King bed Bedroom 4: King bed

Lower Level Bedroom 5: Queen + Daybed 2 Twin bunk beds (Lower Level) 2 Futon beds (Living room area)

The home includes four full bathrooms and a powder room, each with distinctive stonework, natural wood vanities, and deep soaking tubs. A full laundry room on the lower level is smartly equipped with 2 washers and dryers, folding space, and custom cabinetry for extended stays.

Outside, the pool takes center stage. Set against a backdrop of hardwoods, the heated water, adjacent hot/cold shower, full cabana, and hot tub offer everything needed for a full day outdoors. The screened porch includes lounge seating and a large table for meals and games. A built-in stone grill makes cooking outdoors easy, while the fire pit adds a place to gather after dark. A sports court extends beneath the trees for pickleball, basketball, or open play.
