Picture yourself living in an unspoiled, hidden little valley in the woods to discover and delight in all the nature surrounding you. This could be your haven from the rest of the world while only two miles away are state roads connecting to major highways. This property also boasts exceptionally low taxes and is eligible for a no-interest, zero-down, USDA loan. Originally built in the 1800s as a small stone farmhouse, over the years the house was expanded to include 4 bedrooms, 2 baths and a modern kitchen as well as upstairs laundry. There is fresh clean water fed by nearby mountain springs into a softener and UV system. While retaining the rustic charm of the farmhouse every room has views of the beautiful landscape. There is a picturesque little stream and small fishpond to enjoy in the summer, garden beds to plant and wild berries in the field behind the house. This is a gardener's playground! There is a wealth of history surrounding this property and each owner has tried to maintain the unique qualities of country life along with the modern conveniences that a family requires. While there is still some work to be done on the exterior, nothing should keep you from moving in and adding your finishing touches.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
