Would you like a modern, energy efficient, private retreat on your 9+ acre homestead with room for the family while still being just minutes to schools, stores and highways? Check out this custom built 4 bedroom, 3 full bathroom, 2 car garage contemporary home in Portland, CT! This small town located midway between Boston and New York City, has a safe and quiet community feel with modern schools, library, and town services. The home comes with owned solar panels and a geothermal heat pump, which together yield exceptionally low electricity bills (under $10 per month in the summer). Fiber Internet is also installed, so you can work from home while enjoying the beauty of nature through huge windows.The soaring ceilings and open floor plan with multiple skylights create an airy and spacious feeling on both levels. Cherry cabinets and hardwood floors adorn the kitchen. A wrap-around rear deck is accessible from the primary bedroom and the dining area, allowing you to enjoy nature any time of year. Relax in the jetted tub in the primary bathroom. Curl up and read a book by the gas log fireplace in the living room, or enjoy the option of a wood burning fireplace in the lower level family room, using wood grown on your own property. The split bedroom plan and laundry hookups on both levels plus lower level walkout doors allow great flexibility for a possible in-law or multi-generational household. Newly painted, and new roof and skylights, May 2023. No Sunday showings. The 9+ acres of private land is a mixture of cleared level land (including a fenced garden area, raspberry bushes, 100 producing blueberry plants, and a chicken coop) and wooded wilderness to explore with direct waterfront access to Job’s Pond where you can canoe or swim, or have a campfire with friends. The 30X36 barn (1080 sf) with concrete floor, electricity and water, could be used for the car enthusiast, a woodworker’s workshop, or for shelter for your animals. Updates since photos were taken include fresh neutral paint colors inside, and a brand new roof and skylights (May 2023). New pictures coming soon. This home has been lovingly cared for by the same family since it was built, and can be your homestead retreat for years to come. Make your appointment to see it today! No Sunday showings.
