* * A Naturalist’s Dream—Where Comfort Meets Wilderness * * If you’ve ever dreamed of a private retreat embraced by nature’s quiet majesty, this is where your journey begins. Nestled on 4.86 tranquil acres that border more than 600 acres of protected South Mountain YMCA Camp woodlands, this property offers the kind of peace and privacy rarely found in today’s world. Whether you’re a hunter, naturalist, or simply someone yearning for serenity, this sanctuary welcomes you home—with open skies, whispering trees, and abundant wildlife including deer, turkey, and more. At the heart of this quiet escape stands a solidly built, lovingly maintained ranch home designed for easy, one-floor living. With three generously sized bedrooms and two full bathrooms, there’s space here not just to live—but to live well. The spacious primary suite is a true retreat, complete with two large closets and a private bath offering both comfort and convenience. The additional two bedrooms are light-filled, versatile spaces—ideal for guests, family, a home office, or creative studio. The open-concept living areas feel warm and grounded, ideal for both quiet evenings and festive gatherings. Step outside to the full-length covered rear patio, where natural beauty meets timeless design. Overlooking custom stacked stone landscaping, this is a space made for entertaining, relaxing, and watching the seasons unfold in your own backyard. The lower level is a blank canvas, offering even more room to grow—featuring a wood-burning fireplace, roughed-in plumbing for a third bathroom and a wet bar or sink, and endless potential for a recreation room, guest suite, or personal retreat. Worried about power outages? You won’t be here. A whole-house generator ensures your comfort and security no matter the weather. For heating, you’ll find thoughtful flexibility: four-zone oil-fired hot water baseboard heating—including the garage—as well as an electric heat pump with backup. Two outdoor sheds provide ample storage for tools, gear, and seasonal essentials. This is more than just a house. It’s a place to breathe, to explore, and to reconnect—with nature, with loved ones, and with yourself.
