Description

Tucked away on seven private, heavily wooded acres, this custom-built 1980s retreat offers the kind of privacy and good bones rarely found in today's market. Whether you're dreaming of a modern homestead or a secluded sanctuary near Woodstock, this property provides the perfect canvas for your vision. The heart of the home is a stunning vaulted great room, anchored by a magnificent floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace-one of three throughout the house. The layout is designed for both comfort and functionality, featuring three spacious bedrooms, a versatile loft, and a kitchen complete with a breakfast bar and sun-filled dining area. For the remote professional, the dedicated office with its own separate entrance is a game-changer, offering a true boundary between work and home life. The primary suite is a cozy escape of its own, featuring a private fireplace and an ensuite bath with a jetted tub. Downstairs, the walk-out lower level is built for entertaining, boasting a massive rec room (pool table included!) and a second family room with the home's third fireplace. Hobbyists and homesteaders will fall in love with the specialized spaces here. There is a dedicated workshop in the basement, plus an outdoor structure that has previously served as both a workshop and a chicken coop. With mature tree cover, open space for gardening, and three distinct heat sources-gas, wood-burning, and solar-this home is uniquely equipped for a sustainable, off-grid lifestyle. Sold as-is as part of an estate, this is a rare opportunity to bring your design ideas to a solid, custom-built home and transform it into a transitional masterpiece. Come explore the trails, breathe in the fresh air, and see the potential for you! *New tax amount to be appointed by county.
