6.74 +/- Acres. Some homes are about the house; this one is about how you live. Set in rural Bath, this classic log home offers the kind of easygoing lifestyle that is getting harder to find. Inside, the important things have been thoughtfully updated, including the kitchen and bathrooms. A two-car garage with electric and a separate storage unit add the practical space everyone needs for cars, sporting gear, and hobbying space. The house has a first-floor kitchen open to the living room, a large pantry, a laundry area off of the kitchen, and a primary bedroom and ¾ bath with a covered deck for lounging and taking in the quiet. A patio and fire pit too! The lower level has a lower entrance, family room, bedroom, full bath, and office or other sleeping. But here’s where this property gets interesting: it includes 2 additional, separately taxed lots. Keep them, build them, sell one or sell both- diversified investment holding the land? For years, the owners have simply enjoyed the extra contiguous parcels as their own private playground, with plenty of room for dirt bikes, four-wheelers and outdoor fun. Snowmobiling is right out the door, too! And when those hot summer days call, the famed Swiftwater Bridge is just a short distance away, leading to one of the area’s best swimming spots. Shhh, don’t tell anyone! Quiet, rural, recreational and remarkably flexible, this is more than a log home; it’s a little piece of the Bath lifestyle, with extra land and plenty of possibilities built right in. Bonus: this is turnkey, furnished and ready to enjoy!
