The logging has also destroyed trails that we used to access about 1 mile from the house. So now we drive to get to trailheads. Also, the part of the road we are on is on a hill and the logging trucks often run their really noisy brakes while coming down the hill. Both myself and my BF have had cars come way to close to us on the road while we're riding or walking the dog.
This clarifies things. With this new information, it sounds like it's not really the right place for you, and I completely understand why you're hesitating about buying it.

If you can continue renting your current place and aren't under the gun to move, I say keep looking.
