The windy, wooded driveway hides this custom-built, architect designed, lovely contemporary home nestled on 73 acres of woodlands: a haven for birds and wildlife. The homes interior is beautifully finished with John Delagrange - custom-built maple cabinetry with cherry wood trim and moldings, doors and several build-in closets throughout all three levels. There is plenty of natural light in the spacious, open concept living area! You'll enjoy the warmth sitting in the living room near the Jotul wood-burning stove which radiates throughout the house, and leads into a cozy den enclosed by beautiful pocket doors. Hardwood floors throughout. The laundry room and a bathroom are also on this level. Upstairs you'll find the primary bedroom and a bathroom with a beautiful tile shower and a separate bathtub. Also a spacious loft area, that overlooks the living room, which can be used as a home office or an extra bedroom. The finished lower level has a spacious living room that opens to the back garden via glass doors. There are two more bedrooms, a bathroom and sauna on this level as well. The utility room and a large workshop are on the lower level as well, with radiant floor heating under the painted concrete floors. For outdoor living, there is a screened porch and covered breezeway between the house and the garage. A path leads down past a waterfall and frog pond, to a firepit – perfect for roasting marshmallows. Beyond the house, explore the ~3 miles of well-maintained and marked trails for hiking or cross-country skiing, or enjoy bird watching at the wood duck bench. There is a lean-to and outhouse (hand-build with maple wood grown and milled onsite) near the northeast boundary of the property approximately one mile from the house. The garage houses two cars and many canoes, kayaks, etc. There is also a shed for the tractors and garden tools; and a firewood shelter. There are ponds and streams throughout the back woods. Although a wooded haven and “staycation” place, this home is only a few miles from Canton, St. Lawrence University and SUNY Canton. Clarkson University and SUNY Potsdam are only ten miles away. Whether you're looking for a place for rest and relaxation or fun and adventure, this is the place for you! Call and schedule your showing today because this home won't last long!
