The residence offers 4 bd, 2 ba, 2 kitchens (one electric and one gas), spacious living and dining area, dedicated office space, spring/sunroom-style room that could potentially double as a 5th bedroom, hardwood flooring throughout much of the home, updated vanities, and stone, granite, and quartz countertops.

Designed with long-term self-sufficiency in mind, the property includes well water, rainwater collection systems, water filtration, solar infrastructure, multiple backup generators, wood-burning heat, central HVAC, a hidden root cellar/storage area, extensive greenhouse space, electric fencing, and multiple food production areas. A portion of the rainwater collection system services the greenhouse, while an additional collection system is available for future expansion. Outside you’ll find rolling sloped yard space, 2 ponds, established logging roads, private driveway access, detached 3-stall garage, storage shed, and a 90’ x 36’ greenhouse. Seller reports approximately 100+ acres of marketable timber remain. No oil and gas rights convey.
