Idyllic 5-acre estate and organic farm and orchard, privately sited in the heart of Still River with dramatic westerly views of Mt. Wachusett, sensational sunsets, paths punctuated by a series of ever-blooming naturalized perennials, and mornings filled with birdsong serenades. The delightful 4-bedroom cape has a 1st floor master suite or inlaw apartment and a welcoming country kitchen with attached sunroom/potting shed. There is a large 2nd floor bonus room with open studio space perfect for artistic pursuits, accessed by a separate staircase.

Solar panels generate optimal energy efficiency and modest quarterly income. A 17kW generator ensures that the home will run smoothly even when local utilities do not.
