This beautifully updated property features a spacious main residence along with a stunning addition that includes a full in-law suite and a private studio above ideal for guests, extended family, a home office, or potential rental income.

A new large enclosed porch further expands the living space, creating the perfect setting to relax or entertain year-round. Set on 17+ picturesque acres framed by classic stone walls, the property offers lovely views, open meadow, and wooded privacy with ample outdoor space to explore and enjoy. A three-car detached garage provides excellent space for vehicles, storage, or hobby use, while a workshop and spacious woodshed add exceptional functionality.

A rare opportunity to own a beautifully expanded home with multiple living options, sustainable features, and breathtaking views in a serene and private landscape.
