2511 Mountain View Dr, Ottsville, PA 18942

Adjacent to hundreds of acres of the 5,283 acre Nockamixon State Park, Nockamixon Retreat is an updated passive-solar contemporary stucco home offering privacy and tranquility. The 7.74 acre parcel is situated near the foot of Haycock Mountain so the views are serene and bucolic and there is a small creek running along the property boundary. A 3-stall stable with electric and water surrounded by 1.5 acres of fenced paddock is ideal for a horse or sheep or dogs. Live off the land and grow your own in the fenced garden, also with water and electric. Enter from the flagstone patio with redwood pergola into an open plan with clean lines and vaulted ceilings. The main floor provides the perfect flow for entertaining with kitchen that is open to the great room with exposed beams, and the large south-facing dining room or sun room with 2014 Andersen windows providing views of the grounds and surrounding woods. The updated kitchen with granite counters and stainless appliances includes a new LP range and a separate prep sink area. Off the kitchen is the Florian greenhouse, complete with brick floor, water, wall heater and thermostat-controlled fan, a great place to put your green thumb to work, or perhaps an al fresco dining room overlooking the tranquil koi pond with waterfall and beautiful landscaping! There are two 1st floor bedrooms and full bath. Upstairs is the main bedroom with ample closets plus a fourth bedroom, and the large tiled bathroom with soaking tub, walk-in glass shower and laundry closet with included stackable washer/dryer. The high velocity HVAC heat pump was installed in 2006 as was the septic system. Boating, canoeing, kayaking, hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, swimming and hunting are literally within walking distance. 80 minutes from NYC.
