Set on 5 scenic acres with 313 feet of Hermit Lake shoreline, this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2-full-bath home offers timeless character, thoughtful updates, and captivating views from every angle. Originally built circa 1890 and relocated to the property in 1998, the home blends historic charm with comfortable everyday living and meaningful improvements throughout. Recent updates include new flooring on the main and lower level, honed granite countertops (2025), and inviting spaces designed to enjoy the surrounding landscape. Outdoor living is a standout feature, with a wood-fired pizza oven, gazebo, paver patio, barrel sauna, landscaped grounds, fruit trees, wild berries, and abundant wildlife. Additional highlights include a heated attached garage with pull-down ladder and storage trusses, a heated insulated shop, and a location just 2 miles from the Big Fish Lake public landing.
