As of May 2024

*** ALL OFFERS DUE BY WEDNESDAY @ 6PM***Welcome to your charming Cottagecore retreat nestled at 2750 Scientists Cliffs Road - NO HOA - in the serene Port Republic. This enchanting property offers a unique blend of rustic cabincore charm and the refined elegance of cottagecore design, creating a haven that beckons both nature enthusiasts and those seeking a tranquil living. Situated directly on the East Loop of one of the American Chestnut Land Trust trails, this idyllic cottage is a gateway to the beauty of nature, offering access to the vast expanse of 22 miles of trails sprawled across the 3,400-acre preserve. Whether you're a hiking enthusiast, birdwatcher, or simply yearn for peaceful strolls amidst lush greenery, this location promises endless opportunities for outdoor adventure.Stepping inside, you'll be enchanted by the cozy ambiance and thoughtful details that define the cottagecore aesthetic. Natural light floods the interior, highlighting the warm wood accents and inviting spaces designed for relaxation. There are two fireplaces. The large stone fireplace is the centerpiece of the living area. The cabincore influence is evident in the rustic elements, such as exposed beams and reclaimed wood finishes, evoking a sense of nostalgia and connection to the land. At the same time, the cottagecore touches add an air of sophistication, drawing inspiration from the picturesque charm of countryside cottages and pretty farmhouses. From quaint window seats perfect for curling up with a book to a well-appointed kitchen adorned with vintage-inspired accents and tumbled stone flooring, every corner of this home exudes timeless charm and comfort. Just off the kitchen is a small closet with a doggie door that leads to the dog run on the side of the house. The bonus space could be used as the 4th bedroom/Office/or another family area.Outside, the expansive grounds offer ample opportunities for leisure and enjoyment. Retreat to the large, two-car garage with an attached apartment—perfect for use as a private office or guest suite, complete with its own bathroom. Whether you're savoring your morning coffee on the patios or front porch overlooking the sun-dappled gardens, tending to a garden brimming with blooms, gathering around a crackling fire pit under a starlit sky, or tending to your chickens, every moment spent in this peaceful oasis is a testament to the simple joys.And with no HOA fees to contend with, you're free to fully embrace the laid-back lifestyle that defines cottagecore living. Whether you're seeking a weekend retreat or a year-round sanctuary, this Cottagecore haven offers a rare opportunity to embrace the beauty of nature and create cherished memories that will last a lifetime.
