Tucked away from the road and surrounded by stately evergreens, this property offers rare tranquility and seclusion. Step inside to sun-filled, spacious rooms designed for comfort and versatility.

A large two-bay 36' x 36' shop between the house and road provides ample space for hobbies, small or large projects, or storage. For adventure seekers or travelers, a two-vehicle carport at the north end easily accommodates RVs or boats. Green thumbs and animal lovers will appreciate the raised garden beds at the south end and a dedicated chicken coop/goat shed in the backfield, perfect for small livestock or fresh eggs. This exceptional property blends privacy, comfort, and functionality—ready for you to make it your own.
