17097 Blackwood Rd, Shade, OH 45776. A rare find - 16 mostly wooded acres with a pristine, totally private 4 bed, 3 bath home, detached 3 car garage with full second floor, and a historic 32x46 old barn. A jaw dropping incredible view of the valley from the sun room, huge party deck and back windows. Luscious perennial gardens, paw paw trees, meadow, surrounded by woods. Public water. Kohler whole house generator in case the AEP Electric goes out. Living room with a wood burning stove for cozy winter evenings. The kitchen is a cook's dream with quartz counters, many cabinets, recent appliances including a propane gas stove, and a walk-in pantry. The barn dates from early 1900, the 3 car garage was added in 2003. This home was built with loving care in 1994; new top grade siding in 2016; new porches, steps and decks in 2022. Metal roofs on home and garage. Nothing to do but relax, enjoy the peace and quiet, the amazing view and the dark starlit nights. Great location - just 22 min from Athens and Ohio University, easy access down 33 to Pomeroy - a quaint town on the Ohio River, north to Marietta and Parkersburg. Alexander Schools. Hunt, hike, garden, homestead, commune with nature. Late Fall possession.
