Escape to your own private wellness retreat in the heart of the Poconos. Nestled on over an acre of wooded privacy, this nearly 3,000-square-foot raised chalet offers the perfect blend of space, comfort, and relaxation. The standout feature? Your very own sauna and indoor hot tub, creating a spa-like experience you can enjoy year-round without ever leaving home. Inside, you'll find oversized bedrooms, multiple bonus spaces ideal for home offices, workout rooms, dens, or guest accommodations, and a spacious living room centered around one of two wood-burning fireplaces. Floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and a massive office area make this home perfect for remote work, creative pursuits, or simply spreading out. Private balconies extend from every upstairs bedroom, providing peaceful views of the surrounding property. The full walkout basement offers even more flexibility, while the quaint community's beautiful indoor pool adds to the resort-style feel. Located in the highly sought-after Pleasant Valley School District, this unique property delivers privacy, versatility, and a daily escape from the ordinary.
