Discover the perfect balance of privacy, character, and comfort on this 39 acre wooded retreat just 10 minutes north of Havelock. A scenic laneway winds through towering trees before opening into a sun-filled clearing with landscaped grounds, gardens, and a charming home surrounded by natural beauty. A tranquil pond and apple orchard lie just west of the residence, enhancing the settings timeless appeal.
The original log home, restored in the 1970s, showcases warm rustic charm with a main floor living room anchored by a striking fieldstone fireplace with pellet insert. The upper level offers two bedrooms and a 3-piece bath. A post-and-beam addition, constructed in the 1980s with a board-and-batten exterior, expands the living space with an inviting foyer, spacious kitchen with freestanding woodstove, 3-piece bath with laundry, and a sunken sunroom overlooking the pool. A unique 4-foot fieldstone wall in the sunroom doubles as a thermal heat sink in winter and natural cooler in summer. The second level of the addition offers a large primary bedroom with sitting area and walk-in closet, a fourth bedroom, an office nook, and a cozy loft accessible by ladder. Off the kitchen, enjoy access to a cedar-lined electric sauna and a fully enclosed 15' x 20' porch for extended seasonal living.
Outdoors, the 16' x 40' solar-heated inground pool creates a true entertaining hub, complete with cedar decking, textured concrete, screened pergola, and stone patio. The detached 2.5-bay garage is equally impressive, featuring two powered roll-up doors, 9.5' ceilings, and a fully finished second level with ductless heating/cooling and a private balcony. Efficient heating and comfort in the house are provided by two ductless heat pumps, a pellet stove, freestanding woodstove, and heated floors in the kitchen and main bath. A unique offering that combines history, craftsmanship, and natural beauty - an extraordinary property to call home.
