PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

Tucked away on 10 private, mostly cleared acres, this custom-built cottage offers quality construction, thoughtful design, and an inviting country setting. Built in 2019, the home is set well back from the road, with mature trees providing privacy on three sides and generous open space for horses, recreation, or future improvements. Equestrian features include an approx. 1.5 ac paddock with water and a shell barn ready to be completed as desired. It could be configured with two stalls or as a run-in with a feed and tack room. It currently works perfectly for hay and equipment storage. The grassy 1+ acre area in front of the home offers additional possibilities for more pasture, a jump field, an arena, or just enjoying a pretty field with wildlife. You'll feel right at home in the charming 1,200-square-foot cottage that features a main-level bedroom, two full bathrooms, and a spacious loft. The home has fresh interior paint and waterproof Pergo flooring. Quality construction features include 2x6 framing, hardiboard siding, and closed-cell spray-foam insulation. The kitchen is centered around a large granite island with seating for 5 or more. It has easy-care tile flooring, under-cabinet lighting, a pantry, and includes a stainless steel dishwasher, electric range, microwave, and refrigerator. As part of the great room, the kitchen blends into the dining area and living room. The soaring vaulted ceiling brings in the sunshine and creates a spacious, airy feeling. The main-level primary bedroom offers a clawfoot soaking tub, custom dresser-style vanity, walk-in closet with laundry area, and plumbing already in place for a future shower. Direct exterior access to a small deck as well. Upstairs, the versatile loft includes its own full bath, closet, linen storage, and ceiling fan offering flexible accommodations for guests, a home office, studio, second living area, or an additional bedroom. Additional features include a heat-pump HVAC system, tank-style water heater, covered front porch, and 3 side decks. A full RV hookup provides water, septic, and 30-amp electrical service. Set on a sand road in an area with other equestrians, this property can easily be the perfect find for someone looking for a hobby farm, a seasonal homestead, or a family compound with room to expand. Zoning is RUD so horses and other livestock are allowed. Treed acreage could be cleared to create more pasture. This property offers the rare combination of a well-built cottage, usable acreage, privacy, and equestrian potential- an ideal setting for horses, hobby farm, or second home to enjoy the peaceful country lifestyle.
