The "Nut House", named by the owners is located on the top of Burkemont Mountain (5miles up). Reach the cabin, step outside...realize that the temperature is about 10 degrees cooler! You are greeted by a "loved on" .52 acre lot and quaint cabin...vinyl shake siding & a green tin roof. Enter the living room and the weight of your hectic life melts away. A cozy living room, with tongue and groove pine walls beckons you to "sit a spell". 3 bedrooms (2-db,1sg) guarantee a good night's sleep. Newly installed is a large screened in porch, a favorite place for family fun! Because the property is located next to the South Mt. State Park, the road up the mountain is paved/state maintained, only 1000' is gravel. Spring fed water system is for this property only. Fully furnished (golf cart too), ready for a family or an Air B&B tenant. Take your time up the mountain but know that this special property is waiting for you at the top! Check out the photos & especially the video. $92,000

R-MU
Rural Mixed-Use District

The intended result is less conflict between adjacent property owners while maintaining the rural appearance of the area.
