Looking for peace, privacy, AND energy efficiency? Ready to start homesteading - on paved roads? This earth-contact home on 9.84 acres offers the perfect blend of sustainable living & beautiful design. A wall of windows across the front floods the open living & dining areas with natural light, highlighting vaulted ceilings, shiplapped accents, built-in bookcases, & original ceramic tile that helps regulate temperature - soaking in warmth during the day & releasing it at night. Cozy up by the wood-burning stove in the winter & stay cool all summer thanks to the closed-loop geothermal system & energy recovery ventilator. The main floor primary bedroom features a charming tongue-and-groove ceiling, while two additional bedrooms & a flexible loft space (perfect for a craft room, reading nook, or play area) sit just a few steps up. Head down a half flight to the unfinished basement, where you’ll find the laundry area, mechanicals, & plenty of storage space - everything easily accessible without feeling disconnected from the main living area. Updates include: newer vinyl windows (2022), brand new roof, fresh paint throughout, luxury vinyl plank flooring in the bedrooms, new vanities in both bathrooms, updated light fixtures, granite kitchen counters, & recently sealed deck & cedar siding. The home was built with 6" studs for added efficiency & durability. Outside, enjoy the large front deck overlooking open pasture or take a walk through your own private woods with a pond tucked back near the trail. Two oversized outbuildings with concrete floors provide endless storage or workshop potential. There’s currently a shed next to the home that won’t stay but good news: the electrical is already in place & ready for you to add your own shed, workshop, or garden space exactly the way you want it! This property offers a truly special setting that’s hard to find & even harder to leave. Information deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Buyer & buyer's agent to verify all information.
