NYS House in the woods for sale: Call this cozy house your home and you'll be just far enough out of town to truly enjoy the rural life of Lewis County. This sturdy, ~950 sf, 2 bedroom, 1 bath, wood framed house, with detached 2 stall garage, was built in the mid 50's and thoroughly renovated by the current owners during their 20 year stay. A large, fully windowed, closed in porch along the front of the house provides extra shelter from winter winds and traps heat from the sun when needed most during the coldest parts of the year. Heat is provided via 2 LP gas heaters in the living room and kitchen. A wood stove is available for re-installation in the kitchen. A steel roof, another desirable north country attribute, quickly sheds snow on the warmer days of winter. An early addition by the current owners included a bedroom and living room with an extraordinary exterior finish of 'collected' stone masonry that bares witness to their creative talent. Their handiwork is also displayed throughout the house in furniture, cabinetry, trim and artwork, all with dual function in utility and decoration. A dug well provides an inexhaustible source of clean, fresh water. A greenhouse for those with a green thumb and hexagon gazebo in the back yard are icing on the cake for those that want to do everything out of doors. Just within the Adirondack State Park and not far from 'downtown' Number Four, you'll find the main attraction here, without a doubt, is the crisp, clean air, vast green forests, wildlife galore, starlit nights & water in every form you can imagine. If you like to hike, canoe, kayak, swim, snowshoe, ice fish, hunt, trap, fish, ride atv's or snow sleds, or just want to enjoy the solitude, sights, sounds and fragrance of the great outdoors, yes, you'll find it here in Number Four. The Smith Road, two miles to the east, is the local gateway to the 76,000 acre Independence River State Forest. The trail to Panther Pond, and the river itself begin at the roads end. A further journey to the east lies Stillwater Reservoir and all the splendor of a huge body of water in the western foothills of the Adirondacks. And, just around the corner to the north, follow the Beaver River Flow, a popular destination for anglers, canoeists and whitewater kayakers alike. And when you grow tired of all the adventure the 'big woods' has to offer, settle in to the 32 acre 'Bruggerwald' (Brugger Woods) which has served as a source of venison, berries, lumber, firewood, income and recreation. If you and your family love the great outdoors, imagine having all this on or near the property you call home!
