A country surprise. Unique, high quality 720 sqft 1 bed, 1 bath cabin is a rarity. Set on 12 incredible acres overlooking a beaver pond, teeming with wildlife. This Orvis inspired setting with Alpine chalet interior charm, is an ideal retreat. A level driveway through a copse of wood opens to a sun drenched field and pond. Purposely private, the pond’s brook tumbles into a 160 acres land-trust offering trails and protection. Capturing sunshine on the eastern facing deck is a perfect place for morning coffee. An evening drink in cooler weather is enjoyed by the cozy fire overlooking nature through the large window. While intimate, the cabin feels spacious. A bank of glass brings the outside in, making the porch feel like an additional room. 9 ft ceilings and an open floorplan makes the home comfortable for your invited friends. A fieldstone fireplace encases the wood stove insert which warms the entire space. The brass countertops, gas stove and open-shelving transform the abode into a true cook’s kitchen. Keep the Chef company sitting at the oak topped island bar featuring a farmhouse sink. Or repose in the comfy nook for reading or watching a movie. Down the hallway, is the separate bedroom comfortably fitting a queen size bed with a view to the outside. Additional features: Cupola topped metal roof, storage sheds, stone walls, and pruned woodlands. Potential expansion if desired. 10 minutes to Wassaic metro north train station. 15 minutes to Kent, Sharon, and Amenia.
