Step back in time and into comfort with this unique late-1800s home, nestled on 1.73 acres of homesteader’s paradise. Full of rustic character, the home features a striking stone accent wall in the family room and exposed hewn logs in the basement — original details that tell a story. The spacious backyard is graced by mature black walnut trees, adding both beauty and value. Along the south border, a stately row of sugar maples not only puts on a spectacular autumn show, but also offers the opportunity to tap your own maple syrup. Come summer, the established black raspberry patch yields bountiful fruit for your table, while the enriched garden soil is ready for your next planting season. Inside, enjoy the practicality of main-level laundry and a concrete-floored basement with solid shelving — perfect for storing your home-canned goods. Step outside to take in peaceful views of open fields and woodland, where white-tail deer graze and Canada geese raise their young in the spring. A detached garage offers one-car parking with a spacious loft above. Updates made around 2012 include a durable steel roof and a smooth, crack-free concrete floor. Best of all, nature lovers will be thrilled to find the entrance to King’s Gap Environmental Education Center directly across the road. Explore miles of scenic hiking trails, or visit the historic Cameron Mansion and Education Building for a dose of local heritage. If you're seeking country tranquility, historic charm, and the perfect setting for a self-sufficient lifestyle — this property has it all - even an enchanting train whistle that echoes across the valley each day.
