What's special

Single level cottageCompletely surrounded by woodsCozy yet ample home

We are so tucked back in the woods here that I couldn’t even find this place on my first visit and had to knock on the neighbors door to see if he knew where the house was !! Are you looking for peace and tranquility? Do you want to be left alone? Good luck getting your Super Bowl pizzas delivered, but other than that, no one will find you here. If that’s what you’re looking for you just found the place! We have a single level cottage back here on 2 acres that is completely surrounded by woods. Were talking rural Mount Airy but still close to shopping necessities and quick access to Interstate 70 right down the street. Bring a sketchpad, and some ideas because it does need a little bit of help, but you can live very inexpensively in this cozy yet ample home that offers endless privacy. Dust off your GPS and compass and schedule a showing today!
