About This Home

As of April 2026

Secluded Cape Cod-style home tucked away on 7.79 acres beneath a beautiful canopy of mature oak trees, offering exceptional privacy with a long driveway and no visibility from the road-a true hidden retreat for nature lovers. This property is well suited for a small homestead, with space for chickens and farm animals, existing chicken coops, a garden area, and mature trees. A tiny rustic cabin adds charm and versatility, ideal for a studio, guest space, or creative retreat. Enjoy outdoor living from the rocking-chair front porch and screened back porch, overlooking peaceful grounds perfect for bird watching. Additional features include koi ponds, a large workshop, and a man-made shaded bird enclosure. Inside, the great room features vaulted ceilings, built-in bookshelves, and a fireplace with a gas log insert. The upstairs open loft includes built-in shelving and functions as a third bedroom, while the secondary bedroom offers two closets. The home also features fresh interior paint, enhancing its move-in-ready appeal. Major updates include a roof and HVAC approximately 4 years old and a new water heater. Move-in ready and full of character, this property offers a rare opportunity to create your own private sanctuary.
