Nestled on 12 scenic wooded acres just west of Mount Vernon, Ohio, Don Mann and Carrie St. Clair’s log home is a perfect blend of custom design and energy efficiency. Based on the Pleasant Hill model, their home features dormers, a revamped entrance, and two inviting porches connected by a stone walkway. Thoughtfully positioned 22-foot windows maximize passive solar heating, while a unique geothermal system running through their pond enhances efficiency. Inside, a soaring stone fireplace, antique accents, and custom knotty hickory cabinetry create a warm and welcoming retreat they wouldn’t change for anything.
