Private 20-Acre Rural Retreat Bordering State Land
A thoughtfully equipped 3-bedroom, 1¾-bath home set on 20 private acres with direct frontage along state land. Designed for comfort, flexibility, and self-sufficient living, this property offers a rare combination of modern conveniences, practical infrastructure, and wide-open natural surroundings. Whether you envision a peaceful full-time residence, a recreational getaway, a hobby farm, or a private basecamp for outdoor adventure, this acreage delivers space, privacy, and possibility.
Property Highlights:
Comfortable, Well-Appointed Living: Radiant floor heating throughout the home provides consistent, efficient warmth, complemented by pellet stoves in both the house and garage. The 3-bedroom layout includes 1¾ baths, an extra room for an office or hobby room, and a spacious primary bath with a jacuzzi tub. A whole-house water softening system adds everyday comfort and convenience.
Appliances & Select Furnishings Included: The home comes equipped with a stove, refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, and dryer. Select furnishings are also included, such as a fireplace TV stand, couch, and loft bed, making the transition into the home even easier.
Garage, Workshop & Storage: A spacious 2-car garage with a dedicated workshop offers excellent room for vehicles, tools, equipment, projects, and storage. A pellet stove in the garage adds year-round usability and comfort.
Outdoor Infrastructure:
• Generous shed for additional storage
• Chicken coop with fully fenced pen, ready for a backyard flock
• Covered RV parking plus an additional open RV parking space for guests, recreation vehicles, or equipment
20 Acres with Privacy and Potential: The property includes approximately 3 acres enclosed with 6-foot-high perimeter fencing designed to help keep both small and large animals out, creating a secure area for gardening, pets, play, or controlled livestock use. The remaining 17 acres are forested, offering a beautiful natural backdrop and abundant privacy. Bordering state land, the property also provides convenient access to hiking, hunting, wildlife viewing, and year-round outdoor recreation.
Self-Sufficient Systems:
• Private well producing 2.5 gallons per minute, paired with a 1,500-gallon cistern
• 1,000-gallon underground propane tank for dependable fuel storage
• 600-watt Generac generator professionally connected to the propane tank for added peace of mind during outages
This is more than a home—it is a complete lifestyle property for buyers who value privacy, independence, and access to nature. From the radiant floor heat and pellet stoves to the workshop, office, fenced acreage, chicken setup, backup power, and included appliances, every feature supports comfortable rural living with practical day-to-day convenience.
Opportunities like this are increasingly hard to find: 20 acres, usable infrastructure, secure fencing, outbuildings, modern comforts, and direct access to public land. If you are looking for a private retreat with room to grow, work, explore, and unwind, 82 Gardner Creek Rd. deserves a closer look.
What the owner loves about this home
What I love most about this home is the rare sense of peace it offers. From watching deer, elk, and other wildlife graze across the property to enjoying the quiet privacy created by gated, six-foot fencing, this home feels both connected to nature and wonderfully secure.
The radiant floor heating makes every season comfortable, while the garage workshop provides the perfect space for projects, hobbies, and DIY inspiration. And with town just a six-minute drive away, you get the best of both worlds: peaceful seclusion with everyday amenities close by.
The local school is another highlight, with dedicated teachers and caring leadership from a wonderful principal and vice principal.
