Escape to peaceful country living with this one-of-a-kind cottage nestled on approximately 4 beautiful acres. This charming property offers the perfect blend of comfort, functionality, and self-sufficiency.
The main home features a warm and inviting layout, highlighted by a bright sunroom and dining area with brand-new windows that bring in abundant natural light. A fully heated and cooled basement doubles as a storm shelter, providing safety and easy interior access year-round.
In addition to the main residence, the property includes a separate guest house—ideal for visitors, extended family, or potential rental income—as well as a fully finished portable building with heating and cooling, perfect for a home office, studio, or hobby space.
Designed with convenience and preparedness in mind, the home is equipped with a hardwired whole-house generator powered by an owned 500-gallon propane tank, ensuring peace of mind during power outages. Central-access WiFi and a security system are already in place.
Outside, you'll find multiple outbuildings for storage, two covered carports, and plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the land. The property is dotted with mature fruit trees, including blueberry, fig, and apple—perfect for those who appreciate a touch of homesteading.
Additional highlights include an approximately 8-year-old water heater and numerous thoughtful upgrades throughout.
If you’re looking for privacy, versatility, and a truly unique country retreat, this property is a rare find.
