The American Transcendalist philosophers of the mid-19th century felt that immersing themselves in nature would gain them a more objective understanding of society. Like Thoreau's cabin on Walden Pond, this property is in fact very close to town, shopping, major thoroughfares, and other amenities, and offers a modern-day opportunity for the simple living, self-sufficiency, and personal introspection in private, natural surroundings that Thoreau sought. Set back from the road on 12 partially cleared acres, the setting is breathtakingly natural and tranquil. The circular floor plan of the home offers views from every vantage point, with 4 ways to access the outside. The owners converted the original garage into a cozy wood-paneled family room off the kitchen with energy-efficient wood stove and windows on 3 walls. The large bedrooms and bathrooms are well appointed, and include walk-in closets. A rare opportunity in sought-after SVSD for quiet repose without isolation from conveniences!
