Just the Right Price, Just the Right Place! This charming home offers the perfect blend of comfort, privacy, and outdoor enjoyment. Featuring its very own stocked pond—home to plenty of big fish—the current owner practices catch and release, but you might be tempted to keep one or two for dinner! Sitting on 2.5 acres, this property gives you plenty of room to relax and take in the serene waterfront views right from your kitchen and living room. The open-concept layout between the eat-in kitchen and living area makes it easy to cook, entertain, and keep up with all the fish tales being told nearby. Need more space? The spacious attached garage could easily be converted into an additional bedroom or living area, should you wish. The above-ground pool is included in the sale, adding even more fun for those summer days. Tucked behind the trees, this home offers privacy while still maintaining easy access to the paved main road. Nature lovers will feel right at home here—expect to see everything from fish and deer to squirrels, and yes, even the occasional bear stopping by for a visit! And when winter rolls around, the pellet stove will keep you warm, cozy, and ready for another season of peaceful living in your own private retreat.
