Description

Welcome home to a wooded retreat, tucked away near the top of a winding gravel roadway. Set on just over five peaceful, wooded acres, this meticulously maintained 2 - bedroom, 2-bath rancher offers a perfect blend of artisan craftsmanship, modern comfort, and natural serenity. Framed by a classic split rail fence and surrounded by mature trees, the property provides both privacy and connection to nature!!Inside, you’re welcomed by vaulted ceilings accented with custom wood beams, creating an open, airy living area where large windows fill the space with natural light, illuminating the wood-burning fireplace with its handcrafted mantel. The adjacent dining room continues the craftsmanship theme with a coffered ceiling and custom beams, while sunlight streams through generous windows, creating a warm and inviting ambiance. The custom kitchen is a standout centerpiece, featuring cabinetry and flooring handcrafted from reclaimed wood salvaged from a historic property demolition—a beautiful fusion of sustainability and heritage. The primary bathroom offers a touch of spa-inspired luxury with a large soaking Jacuzzi tub encased in custom wood paneling, creating a peaceful retreat after a long day. The partially finished basement expands the living area with over 1,100 square feet of space, including a spacious den and family room—ideal for a home office, thanks to Frontier fiber optic internet service available in the area. A walk-in cedar closet provides additional storage, while a five-year-old HVAC system ensures year-round comfort. An inactive woodstove, once used as a secondary cooking source, adds rustic charm and potential functionality. Outdoors, the property features a remarkable 2,300 sq. ft. woodworking shop with its own dedicated, metered power supply, perfect for artisans, hobbyists, or small business operations. Additional stand-alone structures, including a smokehouse and woodshed, add even more flexibility and utility. The backyard retreat invites you to enjoy clearly labeled garden beds, peaceful walking trails, and a tranquil water fountain feature, all beautifully enclosed within the property’s split rail fence. With roof shingles replaced within the past five years, this home combines enduring quality, thoughtful updates, and timeless character. Whether you’re seeking a private homestead, craftsman’s retreat, or woodland sanctuary, this one-of-a-kind property celebrates space, natural light, and artistry—offering the best of modern comfort and country living.
