This unique custom built home began as a 1-1/2 story farmhouse built of oak milled from the property. An open-plan 1st floor and second story dormer provide lots of family space, bedrooms and bath. The addition, built in 2003, has an open plan, with a great room, two bedrooms and a fully tiled bathroom. These tiled bedrooms, hall and bath are heated with in-floor hydronic heat. Walnut floors and woodwork, oak built-in book shelves were made from wood milled from the property. Even the window-enclosed front porch has a walnut wood floor. 5-sets of French doors around the home add lots of light and openness. The addition also has a full basement with walk-out, windows, in-floor hydronic heat, a work shop and rec area. This house sits on 14 acres of total privacy at the end of a 1/2 mile private road. Pastures are fenced. Barn built in 2010 with original log granary and shed to house your horses, sheep, or a few cattle. This property also has numerous established organic gardens. We truck farmed here for 25 years raising organic vegetables, eggs, chicken, and sheep/lamb. There are raspberries, strawberries, a marketable quantity of asparagus, 3 apple and 1 plum trees, lots of rhubarb and numerous flower gardens. There is a walk-in cooler in the shed for storing produce and hanging meat for butcher. There is even a walled garden and silo with a fountain/pool. The yard is fenced to contain your dogs. The pool and deck is perfect for entertaining and fun for the kids (includes a solar pool heater). The insulated wood-frame two-car garage with tack and shop area has lots of light, a storage loft, 18'W garage door w/ electric opener and a 240V outlet. The house is heated by a wood pellet furnace. A wood stove in the living room and in-floor hydronic make this home cozy and comfortable. French doors and windows and a gorgeous tree canopy provide all the cooling needed (with an additional fan in the bedroom window on the hottest nights). The deep cool basement furnace-room & furnace-fan can provide cooling on the hottest days. There is a LP dryer, electric washer, and Bosch LP on-demand water heater. The kitchen has an open-plan with a large porcelain farm sink, marble topped storage drawer/cabinets, a butcher block, full-wall pantry, and a commercial range with griddle and vented overhead fan. In the spring, summer & fall it’s walk outside easy-living. In the winter it’s a private wonderland for skiing, snowshoeing and nature walks. If you don’t mind being snowed in for a day or two, you can wait for the contract plow or snow-blow your way out (tractor & snowblower available). This home is served by Nelson-tel.net and has brand new fiber-optic network.
