Augusta Creek crosses the length of the acreage that is close to Pitchfork Lake Swamp. This wildlife corridor supports exceptional habitat for deer and birds, offering you peace and quiet and the potential for a private hunting estate or hobby farm. This 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath country retreat is a haven for all nature lovers as well as a true hunter's paradise. The acreage consists of a mix of tillable land (or potential horse pasture), meadows, mature hardwoods, and flowing creek with 15 acres of protected wetlands. Lounge in the shade on the covered cedar porch that wraps three sides of the home where you can admire open natural space, apple trees, and hardwoods. Inside, cathedral ceilings soar above an octagonal rotunda and separate living room. Both rooms have gas fireplaces. Abundant windows throughout the house guarantee a peaceful natural view whenever you look up. Golden hardwood hickory flooring and a staircase create a warm and welcoming glow throughout the home. A large kitchen with hickory cabinets and Corian counters forms the hub of the home between the open living space and garage. A half bath and laundry room are on the main floor between the kitchen and garage. The oversized, attached 2-car garage measures 32x20. Home has a main floor primary bedroom suite with jetted jacuzzi bath and walk-in shower. Upstairs you get a second, even larger, primary bedroom suite with a full bath (walk-in shower and separate tub) and a walk-in closet. Additionally, the home has another full bath and two more bedrooms upstairs. An extra wide upstairs hallway is a spacious room unto itself. The home also has independent power generation from 26 solar panels (owned and mounted in the yard). A Rubix battery bank stores electricity and has a 3-day back up supply capability. A generator hook up is also present. The home is ready for all seasons with two heating sources (external wood burning furnace and internal gas forced air furnace) plus central air conditioning. The large basement supplies plenty of storage and recreational space. Nearby you get a huge 75 x 40 pole barn with concrete flooring and 12 foot eaves. This barn contains a room outfitted for deer processing. Another barn with a dirt floor provides additional storage space. Sellers have followed organic practices for decades, ensuring that the location is a healthy place for game, birds, and vital pollinator species. Get away from the world without going too far.
