Consisting of two parcels—a one-acre homesite and an adjoining 13-acre tract—this 14-acre property provides a unique opportunity to enjoy space, flexibility, and natural beauty in a highly desirable location. The property features a main residence, guest house, and equipment shed, along with three total garage spaces, including two at the main home and one at the guest house. A spacious garden area enhances the outdoor setting, while the majority of the acreage is wooded with mature hardwoods, creating a serene and private landscape. Inside the main home, a welcoming foyer connects the sitting room and living room, which flows seamlessly into the kitchen and dining area. The main level includes the primary suite and an additional bedroom, complemented by two bonus/flex rooms offering excellent adaptability for a home office, hobbies, or additional living space. A large wraparound porch spans much of the home, with both screened and open sections ideal for relaxing and enjoying the natural surroundings. The finished basement level adds further versatility, featuring a bedroom, full bathroom, office, and comfortable living area. Two separate exterior entrances provide added convenience and privacy. The guest house offers additional living space with a large downstairs area already wired and plumbed for a kitchen. Upstairs, two bedrooms and a full bathroom complete the layout. With its combination of acreage, multiple living structures, and tranquil wooded setting, 2850 Elder Mill Road represents country living at its finest. **Total bedroom, bathroom, and square footage figures reflect the combined main house and guest house**
