An Over-the-Top Log Cabin in New Jersey Is the Week’s Most Popular Home

It’s definitely not what you’d expect to see in the suburbs just a few miles from the New Jersey shore, but an over-the-top luxurious log cabin in Freehold Township is the week’s most popular home on realtor.com®.

According to the listing agent, Howard Schneider, the cabin is something of a local landmark.

“Everyone in the area knows it,” he says. “And this is the first time it’s been on the market.”

The owners built the 6,000-square-foot home in the style of a Colorado ski chalet. Best of all? They added a private saloon for entertaining friends and family. But after a decade of enjoying the cabin, they plan to retire to Florida. They’re now listing their home for $1,579,000.

Other homes making a dent on our list this week include the New York compound of Orange County Choppers founder Paul Teutul, an immaculate midcentury modern ranch in Georgia, and an Ohio home recently rescued from demolition that’s practically free to any buyer willing to hook up the utilities.
