Charming One-Floor Living in a Peaceful Village
Some properties offer a home. Others offer a lifestyle.
This remarkable 20-acre forested property delivers both, combining the comfort of a well-appointed brick ranch with the privacy and beauty of your own natural oasis.
Hidden from the road and surrounded by mature trees, you'll feel like you've escaped to your own park. A network of trails winds throughout the property, inviting you to explore the woods, enjoy peaceful walks, or simply reconnect with nature. Wildlife is part of everyday life here, with deer and other animals frequently making appearances around the home. Whether you're enjoying your morning coffee or watching the seasons change through the many windows, every view is one worth appreciating.
A Comfortable Home Designed for Everyday Living
The brick ranch offers a practical layout with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, making it well suited for families, retirees, or anyone looking for room to spread out. Large windows throughout the home fill the living spaces with natural light while showcasing the surrounding forest from nearly every room.
The kitchen is both functional and inviting, featuring granite countertops and generous workspace for preparing meals or entertaining. The living room is anchored by a natural gas fireplace, creating a warm and welcoming place to gather on cool evenings.
Additional conveniences include a rough-in for central vacuum, a water softener, an iron removal system, and a forced-air furnace and central air conditioning, both approximately 10 years old.
An Incredible Shop with Endless Possibilities
One of the standout features of the property is the impressive 40' x 60' detached shop. Whether you're a contractor, hobbyist, woodworker, collector, or simply need exceptional storage, this building is ready for almost any project.
The shop features:
16-foot interior clearance
Two insulated overhead doors (12' x 14' and 8' x 10')
200-amp electrical service
Water service
Bathroom plumbing rough-in
Wood stove
RV hookup
Combined with the expansive parking area, there's room for equipment, trailers, recreational vehicles, and gatherings with family and friends.
A Property Meant to Be Enjoyed
Beyond the home and shop, the property continues to impress. Wander the trails through the mature forest, spend quiet afternoons by the pond, or simply enjoy the peace and privacy that only a property of this size can provide.
Multiple storage sheds add practical convenience, while the attached two-car garage is equipped with a natural gas heater for year-round comfort. A recently serviced Generac backup generator provides added peace of mind by helping keep the home powered during outages.
Country Living Without Compromise
Despite feeling worlds away from the hustle and bustle, this property still offers the comforts and conveniences of modern living. It's a rare opportunity to own a private estate where nature, recreation, and everyday comfort come together in one exceptional package.
If you've been searching for a property that offers privacy, room to roam, and space to pursue your hobbies, this forest retreat deserves a place at the top of your list.
Whether you're looking for a peaceful family home, a hobby farm alternative without the maintenance of open fields, or a secluded country retreat with an outstanding workshop, this one-of-a-kind property offers an opportunity that's difficult to replicate.
