Discover a truly one-of-a-kind 20-acre property designed for the creative spirit! Built by a skilled potter, this artistic retreat features two custom kilns—one wood-fired and one gas-fired—making it a dream setting for ceramic artists or anyone seeking an inspiring live-work environment. The 1,344 sq ft studio/shop is thoughtfully designed with on-demand hot water and a 3/4 bath, providing both comfort and functionality for creative pursuits. Multiple outbuildings offer flexibility and storage, all nestled within a stunning natural landscape teeming with wildlife - deer, birds and more. Enjoy the serenity of fenced-in gardens, ideal for growing your own vegetables or simply soaking in the peaceful surroundings. The main home features brand-new Navien hot water heat, a new electric water heater, tongue-and-groove ceilings, ceramic tile flooring, and efficient dual-fuel heating. The upper-level bedroom is roughed in for a second bath, allowing for future customization. A rare opportunity for artists, makers, and nature lovers alike—this is more than a home; it’s a lifestyle.
