Description:

Imagine life in a magnificent log home, set along the edge of a serene 20-acre pond, surrounded by untouched nature. Eagles and osprey just beyond your kitchen window, while deer, fox, beaver, otter, turkey, and abundant waterfowl bring the landscape to life. Enjoy peaceful days kayaking or canoeing right from your own shoreline. Sherman Brook, feeding into Boleher Pond, is part of the DEEP trout stocking program and also offers excellent fishing with both large and smallmouth bass, as well as chain pickerel. Privately nestled on 4.3 acres, this beautiful 3-bedroom home showcases walnut-plugged, solid wide-board oak floors, a striking stone chimney, and impressive 8" x 12" beamed ceilings. Set back approximately 800 feet from the road; the setting offers complete privacy and a true sense of escape. Complementing the home is a three-car carriage shed garage with large unfinished overhead loft, perfect for an art studio, yoga space, or game room, along with a shed and a charming playhouse or garden shed. The exterior features a full-length farmers porch with a spacious rear deck, a welcoming wraparound front porch, a steep 12-pitch roof, milled log siding on the first floor, and classic barn board siding on the gable ends. Solidly built and incredibly efficient to heat and cool, this home is as comfortable as it is captivating... and in the evening, let the gentle chorus of peepers lull you to sleep.
