Properties like this one don't show up very often. Located just minutes from town on a dead-end road, this property offers excellent opportunities to its next owner. The property has had the same owner for more than 35 years. This owner designed the A-frame cabin which offers all the comforts of home in a small footprint. The downstairs offers a kitchen, a combination living and dining area, and a small full bath. The lower level also offers 3 options to get onto the large deck. Moving upstairs you will find 2 bedrooms that each have their own access to the upper-level deck. With nearly 1,000 sq. feet of deck there are lots of options to relax and enjoy the property views. Moving outside you will be greeted by an insulated 30'x40' shop with a 10'x11' insulated automatic overhead door and a small office. The shop has an LP heater for heat and the office has a window heating and cooling unit as well. Traveling onto the wooded acres the trail leads you to the best hidden attribute. The owner had a 2.5 +/- acre pond built. The pond is well stocked and in the perfect location for an evening float or weekend camping party. The pond is surrounded by a mixed-aged timber consisting of mostly hardwood species. The northern part of the property is a younger timber, but moving south the timber becomes mostly mature white and red oaks with some hickories and walnuts. With access from the north and west sides, the land offers some excellent options for great whitetail and turkey hunting.
