A truly rare and magical offering - live immersed in nature on a private, ~13-acre brook-fed private pond, complete with cascading waterfall, serene wetlands, forested trails and wildflower meadows. This one of a kind sanctuary has been lovingly restored and planted to support thriving bird and wildlife habitats, including ospreys, herons, eagles, warblers and swallows. Take a sunset canoe ride, swim in the brook fed waters, hike through your own wooded paths, or relax in the shared common area gazebo-complete with a charming covered bridge, surrounded by native plantings, and birdsong. Additional 11 acres with a second private pond are available, making this an ideal opportunity for those seeking even more privacy or a multi lot estate. The sale includes 3 separate lots, offering flexibility for future expansion, family compound potential or conservation. At the heart of this serene setting is 1800+ square foot home crafted with exceptional attention to detail and quality. Enter through a spacious mudroom adorned with custom built-ins and ascend the graceful turned staircase to a second floor retreat like no other. The primary suite is magazine worthy--vaulted ceilings, exquisite built-ins, a private balcony overlooking the pond and a luxurious bathroom featuring hand selected, 100 year-old imported French tile, a tiled shower and a tranquil soaking tub. A secondary bedroom, also with its own private balcony and breathtaking views, completes the upper level. The first floor includes a cozy office with access to the wrap-around-deck, a full bathroom, and a light-filled living room with soaring ceilings and fabulous wood stove to keep you warm during the colder months. Marvin windows and sliders bring the outdoors in, while ducted mini-splits provide efficient heating and cooling year-round. Close to major cities yet utterly secluded, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a home where nature, comfort, and artistry meet in perfect harmony. This is a private HOA/pond with 5 lots where seller owns 3/5 lots. Fee includes all 3 lots (~$950/year/lot)
