Serenity Ponds: in the middle of nowhere, in the center of everything. Be nurtured by nature. Nestled within nearly eight acres of private picturesque wilderness, this charming log home is an idyllic retreat for nature enthusiasts and those seeking a serene escape. The property features not one, but two ponds, providing opportunities for wildlife observation and peaceful reflection. The house is set in a clearing surrounded by a lush forest. Two short paths could be extended to create a meandering walking trail throughout the property to create your own private park. From the covered front porch, step inside the home, built by hand from yellow pine. The main living area features a cathedral ceiling adorned with exposed wooden beams and solar-operated Velux skylights that let in the sunshine and fresh air, providing a light and airy atmosphere. The kitchen showcases some of the home's craftsmanship, with its artisanal cabinetry featuring punched tin inserts and pressed pewter hardware made by a tinsmith from Colonial Williamsburg, while the dining area offers scenic views of the property. Enjoy your morning coffee or evening tea on the screened-in porch, and wake up to the singing of birds and views of the side and back yards from the primary bedroom. The second bedroom is perfect for children or guests, and the third bedroom, which also features solar-operated Velux skylights and an indoor balcony overlooking the living room, could serve as a home office, meditation room, or play area. The first-floor bathroom has been updated with a marble-topped, hand-carved vanity and a heated quartz pebble floor. The first floor also features a laundry room with space for storage, hobbies, or even a small office. The unfinished basement provides substantial space with opportunity to design finished living areas to serve multiple purposes. With plenty of space for gardening enthusiasts, vibrant flower beds enhance the landscape, adding beauty and charm to the rustic setting. Embrace the serenity of nature and create your botanical oasis in this peaceable refuge. With its harmonious fusion of natural beauty and unique ecosystem, this property presents a rare opportunity to embrace a secluded sanctuary of rural living without sacrificing comfort or convenience. Despite its proximity to urban life, this peaceful haven surrounded by the natural world is a respite from both chaos and the mundane, providing solace and renewal to individuals and families alike.
