About This Home

As of September 2020

Attention Nature Lovers! This unique round home is tucked away on a very private lot of 5 wooded acres with breathtaking views for miles and miles. Wildlife abounds and this serene property is a bird watchers delight, situated just a few miles from Hawk Mountain. The sellers have enjoyed many years in this sanctuary which offers some very unique features and low utility costs. The new shingled roof on garage and green house was installed in 2019, and the master bath was updated in 2018 with tile shower, updated vanity, new commode, and vinyl plank flooring. All appliances will remain and sellers will throw in a 1 year home warranty with an acceptable offer although property is being sold in its present "as is" condition. There are two wood stoves, a free standing wood fireplace, and a propane stove in the property. The over sized 1 car garage and workshop area is connected to house through a subterranean greenhouse with extra storage behind in the wine cellar. Many different spots to enjoy the nature surrounding this home including a flagstone patio to the north, wrap around deck, and screened in porch for pest-free summer evenings. Plenty of storage inside and various outbuildings to keep equipment. Huntsman seller is willing to leave all of the game targets set up around the property with an acceptable offer. Please do not go up drive way to property without an appointment with listing agent or your buyer's agent. Please use caution when walking on snow covered driveways, walk ways or decks. Thank you.
