Thirty acres to roam; twenty of them conserved. A lush, private oasis where the practical upgrades are already done and the fun part of life can begin. Set amid a landscape of open space, mature greenery, and room to breathe, this property feels like a retreat from the world without disconnecting from it. Wander the conserved acreage, tend a garden, dream up a studio, workshop, or hobby farm in the outbuildings, then come home to a house that balances character, comfort, and thoughtful modernization. Inside, the vibe is pure seventies cool with a fresh, contemporary edge. High ceilings, unique angles, and an abundance of natural light create spaces that feel anything but ordinary. The open floor plan invites connection, whether you're hosting a crowd or enjoying a quiet evening by the wood stove as snow falls outside. And then there's the library. The kind of room that makes you slow down. A place for books, music, work, conversation, or simply disappearing for an afternoon. Recent renovations and improvements span both the sexy and the sensible. The result is a home that feels refreshed, cared for, and ready for its next chapter. Flexible living spaces adapt to the way you actually live, whether that means working from home, welcoming guests, pursuing creative projects, or simply spreading out. This is not a cookie-cutter house with a checklist of features. It's a place with personality. A place where architecture, land, and lifestyle come together. A place where mornings start with birdsong, evenings end by the fire, and every season has something worth looking forward to.
