Live among the trees at High Knoll Retreat! Set atop a 1,200 ft high sugar loaf knoll, this meticulously maintained home on 7.22 acres includes a large equipment shed/barn and extra storage shed.Inside, gleaming oak floors flow from the kitchen through the great room and dining area, creating flexible space for various seating arrangements. The kitchen features a sizable island, double wall ovens, and a full appliance suite, opening onto a sunny breakfast nook with a wood stove and French door access to the wrap around porch. Adjacent is a half bath and a bedroom plumbed for a washer dryer, allowing easy one level living.At the opposite end, the primary suite offers abundant natural light, double French doors to the porch, a second wood stove, two closets, and ensuite bath with a low threshold tiled shower and dual vanities. Oversized crank out windows frame stunning forest views throughout the main level.
The basement was originally built as an underground, passive-solar compound in 1981 and is complete with two bedrooms, two baths, a full kitchen, a laundry room with extra storage, and a living room with a third wood stove, all finished with slate flooring and decorative accents. Circa 1996, the current entry level built on top and seamlessly integrated with the original structure.
The 7+ acres provide ample room to roam, garden, relax, or ride. The large equipment barn/storage shed comes with power and includes an air compressor (conveyed with the sale). With the pasture at property entry previously fenced for horses, the equipment barn once functioned as a horse stable with stalls, tack room, and hay storage ready to be reclaimed if desired.
