Large, updated home for sale in a beautiful country setting while still being conveniently close to town. This 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom home has a spacious second living room/family room as well as 57 acres to explore! Plenty of room for the whole family. There is a pond on the property and a river view from the property. You can also legally access the river from the property by using the public trail that runs along the property and leads to the river. There is a large pantry, newly updated kitchen, main floor laundry, attached garage as well as a large pole building. The master suite has a walk-in closed and newly remodeled bathroom. The property also has an impressive solar power set up with Tesla batteries. The solar power is strong enough to run the power to the house for a majority of the year and the overage is sold back to the grid for a credit on the small power bills they do have a couple months out of the year. In-ground solar panels ensure that they can still get plenty of sun, even in the snowy months.
