Arrive at this end-of-the-road property and relax in soothing isolation. The tree-lined approach opens up onto a hilltop with a south and westward-facing view of your private nature reserve. Stroll the ridge and bask in breathtaking sunsets. Hummingbirds, orioles, woodpeckers, swans, herons, pelicans, wood ducks, and pheasants (to name a few) will grace your breakfast bird watching. Neither neighbor, nor roadway, nor industrial noise mars your tranquil abode. Every season has something to boast. Harvest time will delight with garden produce, apples, and berries. The oxbow lake rises and falls with the river to reveal a crop of wild rice. Step out into winter activities on your skating pond, sledding hills, and trails for snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and snowmobiling. In the summer the river is teeming with fish and you can enjoy boating, swimming, tubing, and hiking. Forage a variety of wild edibles and herbs. Mushrooms are waiting to be harvested in the white oak groves. Manage the forest for a wood harvest which warms your hearth for years to come. Treasure abounds! Step from nature into a perfectly civilized 1890s farmhouse. Open the Pella Architect Series windows to experience refreshing summer breezes. The distinguished, top-of-the-line Jøtul 550 Rockford fireplace insert keeps you cozy in winter. The hardwood floors and period woodwork (including wide baseboards and antique hardware throughout) project warmth and charm. The bright kitchen features an antique farmhouse sink, bay picture window, and ample cupboard space. Ascend the original staircase at the end of a long day to retire in one of three bedrooms. The home features craftsmanship and beauty which hearkens back to yesteryear as well as improvements which offer a step-up to modern comforts. Hobbies? Excellent. Your 30x48 detached garage offers 3 stalls plus a shop. Closer to the house sits a 12x16 shed for outside storage just a few feet from your front door.
