Property Description
Imagine sipping cocoa in a dreamy cabin in the woods kind of feel on 5.58 acres, just off Hwy 34 on a hard-surface road. This private, tree-sheltered acreage sits off the road for a quiet, tucked-away feel & delivers the versatility you've been looking for. The 4-bed, 2-bath home blends rustic character with modern convenience: from clawfoot tubs, custom wood throughout, abundant windows, and a one-of-a-kind outdoor patio for entertaining to an efficient wood-burning stove set in a custom hearth anchoring the living space. A 2-story barn-style, 2+ car garage is insulated with a full upper-level loft—ideal for a studio, workshop, storage, or future finish. Outside, enjoy a huge fenced garden, multiple outbuildings, and a large open pasture ready for livestock, recreation, or hobby farming
