About this home
Retreat to a peaceful Doe Bay cabin sanctuary. This 949.5 square foot home on 5+ acres is nestled into the hillside. Large south-facing windows and vaulted ceilings provide nice light and a partial water view. One bedroom, a bonus room, a separate loft, and a full bathroom (remodeled in 2008) allow you to live large within the modest square footage. The partially finished basement provides a laundry and storage area. A large hot tub is surrounded by nature and sheltered on the large covered deck. Private garden space among fruit trees and a tranquil pond, protected within the fully fenced area. Outbuildings on the property include a large 864 sqft steel shop, a 140 sqft finished studio with power, 2 rustic potting sheds, and a "treehouse".
