Overview

Feel the stress melt away as you drive down the country lane to your private retreat nestled into the forested hillside above spring-fed Sycamore Creek. Enjoy your morning coffee on the balcony while you watch deer wander across the drive to the sounds of the babbling creek, song birds, turkeys, and hummingbirds. Add a hot-tub to the back deck (pre-wired) and soak in the serene star-studded night sky as you listen to the owls, crickets, and tree frogs.This low maintenance hideaway is a dream come true complete with heated tile floors, two living areas, two full baths that include a spa shower and a soaking tub, a full kitchen downstairs and a kitchenette upstairs so you can enjoy brunch on the deck upstairs and dinner downstairs on the front porch (three outdoor living areas). Two lofts under the natural wood vaulted ceiling add places to play, work, or daydream.Wander past the pond, up the hillside and along the creek on 4.45 acres of privacy--no other homes in sight! On the practical side, this home was designed to require minimal maintenance with covered gutters on the second floor, factory-painted siding, Trex deckboards, Onyx windowsills, foam insulated ceiling and walls, metal roof, quartz kitchen countertops and sinks plus lots of native landscaping. There is plenty of storage in the his/her closets, lofts, and tucked under the stairs. The mini-splits upstairs and PTAC downstairs keep you comfortable without any intrusive ductwork.The one-car heated garage could easily be converted to a bedroom. A stand-alone carport (great location for travel trailer), large barn with heated office/studio space and a storage shed complete the package. You'll enjoy this peaceful paradise!
