Further down the breezeway is a stunning primary bathroom, ample laundry closet w/ controls to a dual zone-heat pump and a jaw-droppingly beautiful master bedroom w/ walk-in closet, walls of windows and a glass slider door to a covered porch w/ incredible views. The downstairs portion of the house is equal to the beauty and craftsmanship of the first floor w/ a large multifunctional room suitable as a second bedroom, office, gym, den or all of the above, an additional bathroom, wood stove w/ local granite surround and hearth, deep walk-in closet, alcove suited for extra fridge/freezer. Lovingly handcrafted details throughout, including pine walls and ceilings (no sheetrock), 45+ large windows and glass doors gives every room abundant natural light and incredible views, covered porches and decks on multiple levels, perfect for entertaining or quiet introspection. Nature at Your Doorstep: Approximately 1 acre fenced in 4' and 6' wire and wood fencing w/ multiple gates including a large fenced area perfect for a playing field and dog park. Large, irrigated organic garden including an established asparagus bed, herbs, blueberries, thornless blackberries, figs. Rock-lined and irrigated perennial beds including native flowers, shrubs and trees. A spring originating at the base of the property that meanders to the Broad River. Numerous trails through approximately 9 acres of woods weaving along old stacked rock terraces that circle the property. Expansive views, secluded nooks offer countless opportunities for inspiration and rejuvenation. At Peyton Ferry Farm, nature is your canvas and your muse. The connection between the land and the people who live on it is deeply woven, and it is here that you will find your own place in that beautiful web.
