Welcome to your country home on nearly 16 acres of rolling landscape. This 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home offers 1,508 square feet of living space, perched on a scenic hilltop with beautiful views and room to roam.
This home features new windows (2023), a new furnace (2025), and the peace of mind of a whole-house generator (2024). The walkout basement adds nearly 1,200 square feet—ideal for storage, a workshop, or future finishing.
Outdoors, nature steals the show. A stream runs along one edge of the property, while on the opposite end, your own private dock on Sawmill Lake invites quiet moments and endless exploration.
You'll also find a 2-car garage at the base of the hill, a 1-car garage up top, and a large barn for hobbies, storage or extra parking.
Whether you're dreaming of a hobby farm, weekend getaway, or full-time country living—this one is worth the visit.
