Set on just over 8.5 acres zoned A2, this custom-built cedar home offers space, privacy, and a truly special setting. Positioned well off the road, the home is reached by a scenic drive through mature trees, creating a quiet retreat surrounded by nature. Step inside and you'll immediately appreciate the natural light that fills the home. Large windows throughout were intentionally placed to capture sunlight and scenic views while supporting the home's passive solar design. This thoughtful approach helps maintain comfort year-round by making efficient use of natural warmth and insulation. The main level is designed with both functionality and gathering in mind. Multiple living spaces provide flexibility for entertaining or relaxing, while the centrally located dining area creates an easy flow between rooms. The kitchen connects seamlessly to one of the living areas and includes a bright breakfast nook overlooking the deck and backyard. Practical features add to the home's appeal, including a spacious laundry room with outdoor access and a walk-in pantry for added storage. A main-floor bedroom or office paired with a full bath offers versatile options for guests, remote work, or multigenerational living. The sunroom on the first level is a standout space - perfect for enjoying natural light, cultivating plants, or simply unwinding with peaceful views. Upstairs, the primary suite is generously sized with its own private balcony, dual closets, and an attached bath. Two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom are situated on the opposite side of the upper level, connected by an open hallway that overlooks the main floor. The acreage provides room to bring your vision to life. Whether you're considering gardens, hobby farming, recreational space, or adding a future outbuilding, the property offers flexibility and freedom. With serene surroundings and views near Jackson Creek, this home presents an opportunity to enjoy a more peaceful, self-directed lifestyle.
