This two-bedroom, two-bath home offers the perfect balance of rural living, hobby farm potential, and everyday comfort.

The lower level adds flexibility with a rec room or mudroom area, second bedroom (egress tbc), full bath with laundry, and direct walkout access. The home is efficiently heated with a heat pump, supported by a wood stove for added warmth and comfort. Outdoor living is where this property truly shines—enjoy a full wraparound covered patio, with the front section completely screened in, creating a peaceful space to take in the sights and sounds of the brook and waterfall flowing just steps from the home. The land is well suited for gardening, hobby farming, or small-scale homesteading, featuring a greenhouse, chicken coop, and many areas of high sun exposure land. Especially loved by the current owners, across the brook—ideal for growing and simply a beautiful place to enjoy the views. Additional acreage extends to the back of the property with its own access road, offering potential for further development or subdivision. Footbridges cross the brook, and two wells provide water options, including one for irrigation. A double detached garage with concrete floor adds valuable storage or workshop space. Located on a quiet road with nearby public water access at the old municipal dock, this property offers privacy, natural beauty, and convenience in one complete package.
