This wonderful, freshly updated home truly has it all. With 4 bedrooms and 4 baths, it offers generous space for comfortable living. The open living and dining area are filled with natural light thanks to large windows that frame incredible views all day long, but especially at sunset. The beautiful, oversized kitchen features brand new counters and plenty of workspace, perfect for cooking, hosting, or gathering. A deck off the kitchen offers additional space for hosting or for just enjoying the mountain views all around. A spacious laundry room with an extra sink and ample counter space adds everyday convenience plus additional storage. Stay cozy all year with two new wood burners or enjoy the comfort of forced air heating and air conditioning. Step outside to a large, meticulously maintained lawn complete with a sprinkler system to keep it lush year-round. The well-established garden has been lovingly cared for and includes asparagus, strawberries, rhubarb, and blackberries. The property also includes an attached garage plus a detached workshop with a newly finished cement floor — ideal for projects, storage, or hobbies. To top it all off, this home is part of — and surrounded by — 143+ acres of conservation easement, offering unique hunting and fishing opportunities right outside your door. This protected land ensures the property will maintain its privacy and natural beauty for generations to come, all while providing an incredibly convenient location close to town. It’s a rare blend of serenity, recreation, and accessibility. Current owners added a bedroom. Please see the attached flyer for a full list of upgrades! Listing also includes an extra refrigerator, a playhouse, and a John Deere riding mower (and laying hens, if desired).
