Property Description

17.57 Acres with Elevated Views | Heated 4-Car Garage | Two Living Spaces | Cabin with Income Potential | 1909 TFSF of both living spacesTucked just off County Road 5, this 17.57-acre property offers the kind of setting buyers hope to find. Surrounded by towering White and Red Pines and set high on the land with elevated views through the woods, it feels quiet, private, and completely removed from the rush of everyday life.Built in 2022, this home was designed for someone who values both comfort and utility. The main living space is perched above the oversized heated garage with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, an office area, laundry room, and an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area. Vaulted ceilings rise to a 15-foot peak, creating an open, airy feel, while vinyl plank flooring, butcher block countertops, a farmhouse sink, and a large center island bring warmth and character throughout. Just off the dining area, the 12x12 deck looks out over the pines and becomes an especially beautiful place to sit in the summer and fall.Below the living space, the oversized four-car garage is built for both function and comfort. In-floor heat keeps the space warm year-round, while two 18-foot-wide garage doors, metal wainscoting, butcher block workspace, an additional three-quarter bath, and a large 30 x 56 concrete apron create an ideal setting for projects, hobbies, or equipment. The added 3/4 bathroom offers a convenient place to clean up after a long day working in the shop, on the property, or with pets.Follow the driveway winding through the trees and you'll find the property's second living space. A charming 16 x 22 cabin built in 2019, tucked privately away from the main home. The cabin includes a 16 x 8 porch and brick patio, creating a peaceful spot to enjoy the surrounding woods. Inside you'll find a freestanding fireplace, kitchenette, Murphy bed, and three-quarter bath. With its own well and septic system and previous county approval as a short-term VRBO rental, the cabin offers flexibility as guest space, private retreat, or potential rental income.The land itself is just as compelling, with groomed trails winding through mature forest, wild blueberry patches, a 50 x 100 garden, and a 14 x 25 cedar garden shed. Two compliant septic systems, including one approved for five bedrooms, along with two deep drilled wells, give the next owner flexibility for the future. Properties like this are rarely available.
