    What's special

    Beautifully refinished hardwood floorsBrand-new stainless steel appliancesSpacious farmhouse kitchenConveniently located half bathGenerous gathering space
    A rare opportunity to embrace the beauty of country living! This functioning homestead is rich with natural beauty and thoughtfully designed spaces, offering a lifestyle that feels both grounded and inspiring! Welcoming mudrooms at both the front and back entries create the perfect “drop zone” for coats, boots, and outdoor gear, keeping the mess of every season right where it belongs! Inside, the spacious farmhouse kitchen is bright and inviting with abundant cabinet and counter space, room for an eat-in table, and brand-new stainless steel appliances ready for everyday meals or large gatherings alike. The main living room is warm and open with beautifully refinished hardwood floors, generous gathering space, and eastern views that welcome stunning sunrises! A conveniently located half bath sits just off the front entry, ideal for guests, while the main floor bedroom offers excellent flexibility for guests, an office, or single-level living needs. The fully remodeled bathroom blends modern updates with timeless country-inspired finishes for a fresh yet classic feel. Upstairs, two nicely sized bedrooms continue the warmth of the refinished hardwood floors, while the balcony overlooks the diverse landscape beyond, the perfect spot for morning coffee, sunset watching, or soaking up the sun! The lower level expands the living space even further with an additional bedroom with new egress window and an oversized family room with plenty of space for movie nights, work, or play. Outside, the opportunities continue. The old dairy barn is full of potential, ideal for storage, projects, livestock, or reimagining into something entirely your own. The heated workshop carries its own remarkable history, originally serving as the first home for the farmers who built the property using wood milled directly from the land itself. A covered patio creates the perfect gathering place for entertaining in every season, while the outdoor sauna is truly a must-see, the ultimate retreat to relax, recharge, and enjoy after a long day. For those dreaming of a true homestead lifestyle, this property delivers! Fruit trees, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, asparagus, and garlic have all produced abundant harvests thanks to the area’s rich, fertile soil. Established perennials thrive throughout the property, adding beauty and color season after season! This is more than a home, it’s a lifestyle rooted in history, nature, and possibility. All that’s left to do is move in!
