10 acres of Perfection. -Small charming House and Artistic Barn, perfectly nestled in an amazing garden. This property would inspire a storybook! I find myself looking for fairies and hobbits as I drive up the long winding driveway through meadows dotted with ancient oaks and open fields, it is so beautifully manicured you could almost walk barefoot. The cottage and Barn are tucked at the back of the property perfectly nestled in a garden that has been crafted by a Master Gardener. The house is a sweet cabin with an open floor plan. The Barn has ridge cap skylights and floor to ceiling windows that capture the gardens beauty, and walls of bookshelves make this much more than a barn. Come let your imagination run wild and your spirits soar this is a magical place.
