Absolutely magical setting with super special touches & gorgeous mature landscaping, owner was a botanist and this property was lovingly and very intentionally landscaped, and there are three stone lined pools in the stream built by a Chinese artist (pools are now silted in but could be revived). Complete with a charming rustic barn and an old molasses shack (great workshop space), this is a spectacular piece of the High Country. South facing passive solar home featuring cathedral tongue & groove ceilings, exposed beams, granite in kitchen & 1st floor bath, encapsulated crawlspace. The house has deferred maintenance and sold “As-Is.” Repairs needed include: plumbing mini vents to be installed; replacement of windows & doors, replacement of some siding, metal roof is barn tin material and is held down by nails which has allowed some water intrusion.  A truly special home with a beautiful peaceful private setting, this property has so much going for it and with the right TLC it could be an absolute masterpiece.
