About this home

Close-in, serene five-acre estate with sweeping south-facing pastoral views.

Two double-car garages (one equipped with solar), plus a seven-bay roll-up shop with multiple office spaces — ideal for a hobbyist, small business, or car enthusiast. Interior highlights include an extra-large recreation room with an upper bonus loft, an attached glass-enclosed sauna, and generous main-floor living areas that flow to the grounds. Outdoors features dedicated garden beds, a garden shed, and a private pond with dock. Roomy, flexible layout and abundant outbuildings provide exceptional live/work opportunities while preserving a peaceful, pastoral setting close to town.
