Super cute two bedroom cabin in the woods with character on a 1.2 private acre with a one car garage! The house has had some updating and is ready for its next owner to finish up a few items. The curb appeal is wonderful with rock planters, perrenials, grass, a nice easy driveway and a beautiful front porch. The house is sunny and bright with vaulted ceilings and sky lights allowing for great passive solar in the living room with saltillo floors and a large woodstove to save on energy bills. Main bedroom is upstairs with a full bathroom and a bonus/loft area with its own small woodstove (which is rarely used). Guest bedroom with full guest bathroom is on main level. Upgraded appliances and kitchen upgrades as of 2017, the sunroom was enclosed and upgraded as well. The oversized one car garage has room for a workshop and features built in shelving, concrete floors and an electric garage door. There is a cute chicken coop and/or dog kennel just next to the house for easy access.

Located close to the north entrance into Forest Lakes, this is a short drive from the highway in comparison to other locations in the neighborhood.

Bargain in Forest Lakes that you cannot miss. This home resides on a large 1.2 acre lot and has great south exposure to melt off all that winter snow and provide the home with great sunlight throughout the year. With four large skylights and windows all along the front of the home, it allows for great passive solar heat to help stay warm during the colder months of the year. Located right off the back entrance to Forest Lakes, this home is very easily accessible being only 1,000+/- feet into the subdivision off County Road 501 and on a relatively flat road. This two bedroom/two bathroom, two-story home consists of 1,512 SF and an open floorplan. The Saltillo tile flooring throughout the downstairs adds a nice feel to the already cozy home. There are two wood burning stoves, one on each level of the home to help provide additional heat to the passive solar and brand new propane furnace. Don’t miss the private patio off the West side of the home and the dog run with concrete pad off the East side of the home. There is a detached two car tandem garage with extra storage on each side that is currently being used for firewood storage. This property also has an RV pad and with water hook-up for those future guests to park and stay. Please note that this property is being sold “AS-IS”
