5900 Cottage Hill Road

Just beyond the quiet curve of a country road, between the towns of Zanesville and Newark, there's a place where time stretches out and life feels a little lighter. Set on over 63 acres of gently rolling land, this cedar log home isn't just a house — it's a hidden escape, where warm breezes ripple across twin spring-fed ponds and the soundtrack is birdsong, bullfrogs, and the distant splash of fish surfacing for flies. At the center of it all stands a classic Cape Cod-style log cabin, wrapped in deep porches and rustic charm. Step inside to find a kitchen crafted from hickory wood, full of warmth and utility, opening into a cozy dining nook and a four-season sunroom that invites quiet mornings or evening gatherings. A vaulted living room anchors the home, centered by a stone fireplace that climbs from floor to ceiling, topped with a hand-carved mantle — a space designed for long conversations and slow-burning fires. The main level also offers a generous primary suite with a private bath and spacious walk-in closet. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms and a shared bath provide room for family or guests, while a lofted sitting area gazes out over the open living space below. Outside, adventure begins the moment you step off the porch. The stocked ponds shimmer in the sun — teeming with bass, catfish, crappie, perch, and bluegill — and the surrounding woods offer prime hunting for deer and turkey. There's a 30x40 pole barn ready for equipment, storage, or creative use, and with no building permits required on the land, expansion and vision have room to grow. Fully electric, thoughtfully maintained, and just 40 minutes from the growing Silicon Heartland, this property blends peaceful seclusion with easy proximity to opportunity. Whether you're dreaming of a permanent homestead, a weekend retreat, or a land-rich investment for the future — this is where the wild and the welcoming meet.
