About This Home

Tucked away on a private, partially wooded 11.54 +/-acre parcel, this unique property offers endless possibilities with no HOA restrictions. The 3-bedroom, 2-bath home needs some TLC and updating but is filled with character, featuring soaring exposed wood-beamed ceilings, dramatic windows, and abundant natural light throughout. A spacious loft overlooks the main living area, adding flexible space for a home office, studio, or guest retreat. Enjoy peaceful mornings and relaxing evenings on the screened porch surrounded by nature. An unfinished area on the first floor presents an exciting opportunity for a future ADU, in-law suite, workshop, or additional living space. Whether you're seeking to create a dream homestead just a few miles from the shore for multi-generational living, hobby farm potential, or simply room to roam, this hidden retreat offers the space and foundation to make it your own.
