Description

This handmade, cozy wooden house was built by my grandparents who were artists and woodworkers. It's a special home in a gorgeous place. Great views, wonderful quiet, surrounded by birds and woods, lots of privacy. It is in a rural area, so you need a car to get to it, and it's about ten miles away from the nearest town. It is a wonderful place to work on a project, and/or recharge and restore yourself. Has one queen bed in each separate bedroom, screened in front porch with great views, back porch with herb garden, bathroom with bathtub and shower, four burner gas stove and full-sized oven, full sized refrigerator. Lovely woodstove that heats the house well, but also propane furnace. Washer and dryer. Has its own well for clean mountain water. Things to note: no A/C, up a steep driveway (but the views make it worth it!), possibility to use starlink internet but no standard wifi at present.
