Nestled on 6 breathtaking acres of pure wildlife paradise, this charming 2 bedroom cottage sits perched atop a scenic bluff overlooking some of Mother Nature's finest deer habitat. A rare opportunity for those seeking peace, privacy, and an unmatched natural setting. Inside, the home welcomes you with a warm and inviting living room centered around a beautiful stone fireplace, complemented by built-in bookcases and original hardwood floors that add timeless character. The formal dining room features a sun-filled bay window, creating the perfect space for gatherings and everyday enjoyment. The main floor also offers a versatile den, ideal for a home office, guest space, or playroom, while the vintage kitchen presents an exciting opportunity to design and create your dream culinary space. Upstairs, you'll find a spacious open area complete with a cozy sitting nook and half bath, offering the potential to easily convert into two comfortable bedrooms. Additional features include an unfinished basement for storage and utilities, multiple outbuildings for equipment and hobbies, a block structure previously used as a dog kennel, and a quaint cabin overlooking the bluff and rolling farmland currently planted in hay. Surrounded by hardwoods, fruit trees, and an abundance of flowering plants, this property transforms beautifully with the seasons, spring will truly showcase its full charm. As the saying goes: location is everything. While homes can be changed, a setting like this cannot. Conveniently located on a blacktop road within the Sandwich School District, this serene retreat sits at the edge of true wildlife haven. Being sold as-is, as the current owner prepares for retirement out of state, this is your chance to own a truly special piece of countryside.
