Enjoy the advantages of like-new construction in a farm-type setting. Builit in 2004, the main house is a handsome home designed to bring the beauty of the outdoors in. Lots of glass, exposed beams, oak flooring and stone fireplaces add a rustic, yet elegrant feel to the home. The floor plan is casual and inviting.
The focal point of the open-concept living space is the gas fired stone fireplace. A woodbox and TV/stereo cabinet has been cleverly incorporated into the stonework and is enjoyed from the kitchen and dining space as well. Just imagine a crackling fire during the holiday season. For ease and instant ambience, the present owners use a gas insert in the firebox. The living room has recessed lighting and a bar or butler's area. The dining space is large and inviting and will accommodate the largest of harvest tables. It features a lighted china or collectibles closet and has access to the screen porch through French doors. A sun-drenched library or home office is accessed by French doors and features another gas stone fireplace and harwood flooring.
The kitchen - what can we say? If you like to cook you're going to LOVE this kitchen.

Its private, full bath is light and bright and has a refurbished claw foot tub for soaking, a 4' shower and solid surface sink - brass accents add interest.

About 13 acres or so are used as farmland and there are acres of woodlands with trails to enjoy. plant the large garden plots next spring reap the fruits of the productive orchard. The trees are mostly apples (4 varieties) with cherry, pear, peach and plum trees, too. The heated 18' x 20' greenhouse will get your green thumb off to an early start each year.
This would be the ideal spot for a pick-your-own set up and/or a Christmas tree farm, too. The possibilities are endless. The ideal use would be as an extended family compound, but if you did not need the smaller home in the future, it is already a separate lot of record. With the exception of about 2 acres of so, all the land benefits from current use tax status. Make this your last home in country.
